Video from "Forgotten Weapons" on a museum in Guadalcanal. Pretty neat stuff there.
From the YouTube content author: "Today I'm visiting the Solomon Islands War Memorial Museum in Honiara (the capital city on Guadalcanal). This is a private museum run by two brothers on the island, and it is filled to the brim with artifacts recovered from the jungles and battlefields, both American and Japanese. From Coke bottles to 20mm cannons, everything conceivable off a battlefield is represented here, including some really interesting items you might not expect. A few things that stuck out to me include: - WW1 V-B type rifle grenades used by the US Marines - Dutch small arms, including KNIL Madsen LMGs used by the Japanese - Field-modified M1918 American trench knives."
