| Description: | Transformation on Iwo. In a short time the beaches of Iwo Jima have changed from a debris littered chaotic scene to a bustling center of supply activity. From the base of Mount Suribachi on the southern tip of the island, to the northern ridges where the Japanese are still entrenched, huge quantities of vital supplies and equipment are landed daily. This view was taken on a section of northern
beach where assault troops encountered murderous enemy fire. (National Archive 127-GR-94-110496) |
