Their voices, speak not only about the critical roles they played coastwatching, fighting and working, but also they are a testimony and provide meaning of wartime events for their culture and history. This book is also a contribution to Solomon Pijin literature. The stories are given in both English and Solomons Pijin, so that the book will have value not only as a record of this unique period in Solomon Islands history, but also as a tool for language learning and literacy.
