Caroline Kennedy meets children of Solomon Islanders who saved JFK’s life

Caroline Kennedy was in Honiara to mark the 80th anniversary of the battle of Guadalcanal, a brutal seven-month land, sea and air fight between allied and Japanese forces that marked a turning point in the war.

During the battle, John F Kennedy – who went on to become the US president – narrowly escaped death when a Japanese destroyer ran over his patrol boat PT-109.
