Description:Marines find Guam far different than Bougainville. 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. Tank rambling down hillside with landing craft offshore in distance. August 4, 1944. (USMC # 91436)
