Artifact Preservation Ethics
IMPORTANT — OUR POSITION ON ARTIFACTS
I explore the battlefields of the Pacific to document them, not to exploit them.
My goal is simple: to show these places as they are today, to preserve their memory, and to share their history with people who may never have the chance to visit them. Every object, every bunker, every landscape carries a story. I approach these sites with respect, understanding that they are not just historical locations, but also places where men fought, suffered, and died.
Visitors are solely responsible for understanding and complying with the laws and customs of the jurisdictions they visit. This Site cannot and does not provide legal advice. Always consult local authorities, guides, or legal counsel before visiting protected sites.
Safety and Unexploded Ordnance
Pacific battlefields often contain unexploded ordnance (UXO) dating from World War II. This material remains dangerous and potentially lethal more than 80 years after the war. Do not touch, move, or attempt to disturb any unexploded ordnance.
WW2 Pacific Explorer, its authors and contributors, accept no responsibility for any injury, loss, or damage arising from visits to sites referenced on this Site.
Cultural Respect
Many of the battlefields documented on this Site are considered sacred ground by the families of those who died in the fighting, by local communities who host them, and by the descendants of the peoples who were displaced by the war. Visitors are expected to approach these sites with appropriate reverence, to follow local customs, and to obtain any necessary permissions (including traditional land-holder consent where applicable) before visiting.
Accuracy of Information
I make reasonable efforts to ensure the historical accuracy of the content published on this Site. However, historical interpretation evolves as new research emerges, and some details remain contested among historians. If you identify factual errors or have primary-source material that may improve an entry, please contact me.
