I am working on a documentary on the Trinidad in WWII.
Interestingly I've discovered that in 1942 more ships were sunk in the Caribbean than any where else in the world, with 250 sunk just around Trinidad.

Do you know where I can get some footage of the bases here, like Fort Read, or any of the bases on the island at that time?.
Merrill's Marauderw were trained in the first US Jungle Warfare training setup in Trinidad in an area called Manzanilla nick named "the Road to Hell" to prepare troop for Burma.

Unfortunately I have very little by way of photos and no film footage anything.
Someone please, point a helping hand.
