The original caption reads: "THE POWER AND THE PRICE----The power of the invasion armada in the background stands out in ironic contrast with the scene on the IWO beachhead. Marines of the Third Division, covered with their ponchos, lie on the beach they gave their lives to win. The battle still rages a few thousand yards away. An International M2-4 Truck is in the background." |
