| Description: | Three shots showing the terrain over which the worst of the fighting on the Third Marine Division's beachhead occurred. This type of terrain is a far cry from the type of country the same Marine regiment faced in their Bougainville campaign last fall. In one photo note the Marine taking a bath in a water hole with the front lines only a few hundred yards off the barren hillside which the Chamorros used for pasturage. August 4, 1944. (USMC #91434) |
