Title: Iwo Jima Operation, 1945
Description: On the Run - While enemy machine gun bullets whip the branches over their heads, Marines with an empty stretcher pass a dead Jap as they run for the next bit of cover. The Jap was killed an hour earlier as the Marines fought their way forward against fanatical resistance on Iwo Jima. (quoted from the original 1945 vintage photo caption). Photographed by Charles Jones. The original photograph came from Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison's World War II history project working files. Official U.S. Marine Corps Photograph, from the collections of the Naval History and Heritage Command.
