This Japanese 200mm coastal gun, located near Bloody Nose Ridge on Peleliu, was part of the island’s heavily fortified defense system. Hidden within the rugged coral terrain, it was positioned to resist the American advance during the brutal fighting of 1944. Today, it remains a silent witness to one of the most intense battles of the Pacific War.
