May 4 – April is a special month for Australians and New Zealanders. April 25 is Anzac Day when both countries honour those who have served in their armed forces. A ceremony is held every year in Luganville and that’s out lead story this month. We also have a story of the spy who provided the Japanese with intel for their attack on Pearl harbour, the seven brothers who all served on the same ships in the US Navy and lots more. Enjoy it  here.

Apr 6 – Very much a diverse mix of fascinating stories this month. A new photo collection heads up news from the museum with some fabulous new display pieces to add to our Luganville home. There’s a story on Japanese spies on Santo, some new news on Elwood J Euart and a great piece on author James Michener. All that and more in the March issue of our newsletter. Enjoy it  here.

Mar 6 – An exciting newsletter this month with five different authors contributing a diverse range of stories. Author Robert Richardson’s new book about a crash on Santo is out, plus Robert has written a fascinating insight into the defence of Santo. Andy Werback tells us about the sinking of a pontoon on the floating dry dock. Dennis Strand provides some family history about Matthew Wells on Malo. Enjoy the newsletter  here.

Feb 3 – We’re kicking 2025 off with a fascinating collection of stories. We’re publishing a wonderful letter home from a soldier based on Santo – well… we think it was Santo. We also report on a Japanese submarine that was likely sunk not far from Santo. Plus there’s a great story on the Native American ‘Code Talkers’ who created an uncrackable code for the Pacific theatre. Enjoy the newsletter  here.
