The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 2
Photographs from the 5th Marine Division's Iwo Jima campaign of 1945 capture squad portraits on volcanic ground, camp life beneath rolled-up tent walls, and Marines with a litter of mascot puppies. Handwritten name lists on the reverse of prints, and a farmyard snapshot from home, show how personal keepsakes shaped these collections.
