Three more to answer.171 and 172 are certainly gettable but 173 should have you scratching you heads. You will need to get in early before Wil strikes again.
Now it's time to cook tea, so I'm tapping out for a bit Lawerance, I've an idea who the final one is, but will hold off for now (think it's also set in the Philippines as Bataan)
Purely because the US beach landing is in colour and so many great WW2 movies that show this from Sands of Iwo Jima to Longest Day were obviously all B&W

Sorry the wrong theatre of war during WW2. My posted image was from a coloured American lobby card. We have narrowed the answer down now to it being from the Pacific War

Ah, thought the colour was slightly off, well that opens it up a bit.
Actually I'm doubting myself now Lawrence, I've definitely seen the movie in question, however I don't think I've picked out the correct title.
173: American Guerrilla in the Philppines.
Sorry Wil as you are in the right area, but you have guessed the incorrect title. A minor film produced and released by a non major distributor, This title just happens to have a number of copies in existence of a very nice collectible Australian daybill poster. The film title refers to something of significant WW2 importance.
Well the photo gave most of the clues. In Tora, Tora, Tora they mentioned there were a lot of Japanese immigrants at Pearl. With an American woman in the pic along with the guy on the right dressed in Hawaiian like outfit and Lawrence mentioned a significant importance in the title.
Fingers crossed the next 3 move away from the Pacific theatre of operations. Don't get me wrong, I've seen a fair few titles of that theme, but always felt there were so many similar movies produced that it blurred which was which. I thought the majority of British post war productions possibly had a greater stand alone presence and in that sense easier to remember.
That said I'm sure this has a great deal due to my exposure (British weekend television was renowned for continually playing wartime classics even up to the late 90's), I'm guessing US television would do the same with their titles?
Name the three film titles. Wil there are no Pacific theatre operation films pictured. The three titles were pre planned before your request so no favours given here. All of them should be easy to answer I am thinking, particularly now I have narrowed the possibilities down for everyone.
Two absolute classics there lawrence! (I won't class Battle of the Bulge as a classic due to major mistakes, the worst being setting a winter movie in the summer!)

A bit of thought for the first one, a few possibles, nothing 100% yet

Guadalcanal Diary 1943.
Unfortunately, all I could find was a small image of the set, but it does include the cardhttps://movieposters.ha.com/itm/movie-posters/war/guadalcanal-diary-20th-century-fox-1943-lobby-card-set-of-8-11-x-14-total-8-items-/a/7060-83942.s

Too major. We're talking leading Povery Row studio here.

I knew someone would eventually come up with the answer, so well done Mark. The following is the Australian daybill that I had previously mentioned.
Tough one Lawrence!
