Pacific Theater of WWII.? can you please help me describe some of the combat environments?

Both my grandfathers are Pacific theatre vets. My Grandpa G described hot jungles and getting shelled by the Japanese. Seeing a Japanese Zero approaching the island sent his blood cold. He said that the sun was very hot and they loved to find shade.

Well, it was in Asia and the South Pacific. So think jungles, palm trees, sandy beaches, lagoons etc.

The Pacific Theater was Island hopping. Search Guam, Iwo Jima, and other Pacific Islands.

~Most of them were hot, humid, damp, bug-infested jungles or in some cases, barren rocks. Much of the action occured on a great big puddle called the Pacific Ocean and the troop environments were generally cramped, crowded, smelly ships and boats. Hiroshima, on the other hand, before August 5, 1945 was a vibrant and vital city but after August 5th, it was a glass encrusted cinder full of pieces of civilian bone and flesh.
Saipan, Guam,Palau,Truk; these are some of the Islands in Micronesia that were devastated during that battle. In Palau Island, one of the island there called Peleliu Island, though very small was a battle ground of one of the fiercest fight. Japanese soldiers were really slaughtering the young american marines. The beach later named orange beach as it was stained entirely by blood. The USMarines finally took over the island and planted the proud-bloodied flag of the United States of America on top of the bloody rock mountain. It wasn't an easy overtaking because the Japanes soldiers had; like thirty years earlier prepared the island for the war. They had dug into the islands limestone rocks, created a net work of caves and tunnels in which their soldiers could easily attack and run to and fro underground without being detected by the USMarines. The battle costed lifes of both Japanese and the USMarines by the thousands. The USMillitary named one of its battle ship; USS PELELIU, after the name of that island. Ofcourse the environment were very nasty. Rugged and razor sharp limestone rocks were barriers that the USMarines had to manuever as they made their way to the shore and to climb as well to get to the enemy. The pounding of the ocean waves against them intensified the attempts also. And also it is a tropical climate there. The temperature is always around ninety seven to ninety eight majority of the time; very high humidity. Lots of mosquitoes and insects that makes it unbearable for one to stay outhere allnight in the junkle or at the limestone mountain ridge. One must shower daily to have a bit of comfort.
The Japanese were defending the string of Islands near Japan to help prevent the Americans from creating an airbase with which to bomb the Japanese homeland.

-In the air, and at sea, the Japanese naval fleet was giving the Americans a pounding, until the battle of midway.

-On the ground, the Japanese troops were ordered to defend until death, each of the jungle/hardened lava and ash covered islands which they were based on. These battles were intense, and Japanese snipers slowed American advancement. As well as snipers, the Japanese had fortified artillery positions on ridges, and hill tops.
Well, there was water, trees, forests
