Title: Iwo Jima Operation, 1945
Description: Digging in on Iwo Jima was a job that had to be done in a hurry by Marine units as they hit the rugged beach. In this photo a bulldozer, amtracks and a crane have just been landed to aid in the offensive against the entrenched Japanese. Quoted from the original photo caption, released on 22 February 1945. Collection of James Edwin Bailey. Donated by his wife, Helen McShane Bailey, 2006. Official U.S. Coast Guard Photograph, from the collections of the Naval History and Heritage Command.
