You know what, I just realized I should have known this. A subvet I talked to over the summer from WWII said that his sub was docked there once and that he and his crew mates were driving aorund the island, and found some beer out in the open so they took it. As they were driving back a Japanese sniper opened fire on them so they just started shooting back. That night they baried the beer in the sand (to keep it cool) tehn in the morning gave some to the capt. and they said dont ask where we got it from. This man was very nice and funny, he passed away last fall.
