| Description: | Blasted alligator tractor serves as first aid station for US Marines wounded in landing on Asan Beach. Fire was withering along the beach during the landing. The tractor was disabled by a direct hit on the cabin, and five men were killed and eight wounded. It was the only place corpsmen and doctors could find that afforded some protection, so they dug in on the seaward side. July 22, 1944. (USMC # 92248) |
