'Resistance Point' Memorial Marker on Invasion Beach, Likely Tarawa Atoll — Edward P. McAleer Album
A memorial marker titled 'Resistance Point' stands on an invasion beach, likely at Tarawa Atoll, commemorating the intense fighting and heavy Marine Corps casualties suffered during the amphibious assault. Wrecked landing craft remain visible on the offshore reef in the background, silent witnesses to one of the costliest battles of the Pacific War. Project: 218138
