Summary edit

Description

“IWO ADVANCE--- Supported by tanks and halftracks, battle-tried Marines of the Fourth Division inch forward over the Volcanic sand of Iwo Jima.”

"This is sort of interesting, because the man on the left is Sergeant Genaust. He's the one who made the movie of the flag raising at Mount Suribachi. He was killed just a couple of days later so this must have been quite early on in the campaign. I'm not sure who the man on the right is."
