Colored by CupofJoe, I pick this photo to color because my father served in the Navy, he was station in the Marshall Islands on Island that "he said you could throw a stone form one end to the other"! They were constantly attack from the air, as you can imagine, no where for cover!
Mount Suribachi looms in the distance as a mass of American amphibious assault vehicles are safely ashore. The Japanese had a reported 21000 troops defending the island, and only about 1000 surrendered or were captured. The US sent a force of over 110000 marines and 880 ships. The US sustained about 25000 casualties. The island was declared "secure" March 26,1945.

Soldiers of the 1st Marine Division display Japanese flags captured during the Battle of Cape Gloucester. New Britain was defended by the Imperial Japanese Army's 17th Division, under Major General Iwao Matsuda; reinforced by 65th Independent Mixed Brigade and elements of the 51st Division, known as the Matsuda Force. The strain and fatigue of 23 days on the line at Cape Gloucester is clearly shown in the faces of these men of the 7th Marines, relieved after taking Hill 660.

An improved version of the simple LVT was designed, the LVT(A)4 which incorporated the turret from the M8 75mm GMC. This larger turret extended further back, causing the rear hull .30cal positions to be deleted. Avalable for use at Saipan, the 75mm howitzer was able to effectively engage Japanese bunkers and pillboxes. However, Marine and Army unit were critical of the open turret and deletion of the rear MGs as many LVTs were lost to close assaults by Japanese infantry. Many LVT(A)4s were retrofited with a .50cal pintle mounted on the turret.

All hands aboard this 75mm Half-Track man weapons, including the 20mm cannon, while trying to figure out what is in front of them. The Marine at the far right, partially obscured by leaves, is armed with the newly issued .45 caliber M3 submachinegun, known as a 'grease-gun' It is a cheap replacement for the beautifully machined Thompson submachinegun. Due to its cheap construction and poor finish, it is not a very sustainable weapon in wet jungle environment.
