Summary
editDescriptionMarine "Water Boy", Iwo Jima, 1945.jpg |
English: “MODERN ‘GUNGA DIN’---Iwo Japs made suicidal but futile attempts to raid life-giving water dumps like the one pictured here. “Water boy” was a hazardous job in the early days of the battle as all water had to be brought ashore in cans and transported through heavy enemy fire to the front lines. Handling the distribution are, (left to right): Marine Quartermaster Sergeant Frank Writter, of Philadelphia, Pa., and Sergeant Edward M. Lipski, of Mt. Thom, Mass.”
"An amtrac delivering water." From the Thayer Soule Collection (COLL/2266) at the Archives Branch, Marine Corps History Division OFFICIAL USMC PHOTOGRAPH |
