During the Solomon Islands Campaign of World War II, as the Americans their allies started to face resistance, a small group of native islanders and former government officers was formed. This group was called the Coastwatchers, and played a vital role in the Pacific war by relaying intelligence to the allies about Japanese positions. One of these men was SGM Sir Jacob Vouza, a native Islander who had previously worked for the native constabulary for over twenty-five years. He had just retired when the Japanese invaded his home island of Guadalcanal. Vouza immediately volunteered for the Coastwatchers, and then offered his services to the US Marines on the island. He served as a scout for the Marines until one fateful day, when he was captured by Japanese troops. This is the incredible story of how SGM Sir Jacob Vouza managed to escape and make his way back to friendly lines, despite numerous injuries, and relay lifesaving intelligence to the US Marines, just minutes before a planned Japanese attack.

This video is dedicated to SGM Sir Jacob Vouza.
