M3A1 Stuart – Somewhere on Guadalcanal (Solomon Islands)The Marines fought with earlier production Stuarts on Guad. Those later ones might have served in other campaigns, but we suspect they were brought to the island for training, and may have been dumped there when Marine or Army units re-equipped with M5A1s

M3A1 Stuart – Arundel Island, New Georgia Islands (Solomon Islands)Assigned to the US Marine Corps and manned by Marines. Landed on Arundel Island. This tank supported US Army 27th Infantry during an assault on 17 September 1943. This was one of two tanks knocked out by camouflaged Japanese 37mm anti-tank guns. The tank's crew escaped the disabled tanks, but the Advance was blunted. The following day, the attack was resumed with eleven tanks, in two waves supporting each other, and with supporting infantry. This assault pined down and overwhelmed the Japanese
