The original caption reads: "D-Day Finds A Shambles on Iwo Jima's Beaches; Amtracs from Coast Guard-manned LST's carrying Fourth Division Marines poke through the wreckage to crawl up on the blackened sands of Iwo Jima. At right is shattered Jap (sic) transport, shelled to destruction by the terrific pre-invasion bombardment of U.S. Navy guns. American equipment, caught in a cross-fire from hidden Jap positions, bogged down in the volcanic ash sands, but the alligators were able to creep forward through the destruction." |
