Description:Coffee for the conquerors of Eniwetok. These Marines, begrimed and weary from two days and two nights of fighting are typical of the conquerors of Eniwetok Atoll. Storming ashore from Coast Guard manned landing craft, they swept the Japanese in six hours. Here they are back on a coast guard manned assault transport hungrily downing cups of hot coffee (Coast Guard photo 149144, National Archives).
