Original World War 2 industry trade magazine vintage ad for BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM.  Telephone Exchange on Guadalcanal.  Just getting the wire laid was a tough problem.  Keeping it intact in bombings, shelling and adverse weather is a 24 hour proposition.  Wire repair crews are made up of four men.  Three stand guard while the other works.  From a story by Sgt. James W. Hurlbut, Marine Corps Combat Correspondent. The Guadalcanal Tel and Tel covers well over a thousand miles of wire.  Old 1943 WW2 era propaganda advertisement.
