44 dogout blown.jpg

Description:Marines landing on Guam were confronted with enemy fire coming from a half mile long series of caves and dugouts. Dynamite charges were the only effective means of silencing the enemy. Here a huge column of smoke and dirt mark one section of dugout being put out of action just off the beach (Asan Point, Asan Beachhead, Guam). July 31, 1944. (National Archive 80-G-239017)
