Efate is an island in The Republic of Vanuatu. It is the most populated (approx. 50000) island in Vanuatu; in terms of land area (780 km²) Efate is Vanuatu's third largest island. Most inhabitants of Efate live in Port Vila, the capital city.
During World War 2, Efate served an important role as an allied base.
Parts of Efate are very jungle-like with tall trees forming a complete canopy overhead and other areas of dense undergrowth.
When we arrived at Efate or perhaps just before we left Ewa, we had to turn in the.38's and were issued used.45 automatics.
Following a relatively leisure week and a half at Efate, the squadron flight echelon was transported by C-47 on November 22nd to Banika airfield on the Russell Islands by way of Guadalcanal to relieve VMF-211.
