The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 1
Photographs from the 5th Marine Division's Iwo Jima collection range from Mount Suribachi above the invasion anchorage to a Sherman tank overturned on black volcanic sand, a captured weapons dump, and B-29 Superfortresses on the island's airfields. Camp scenes of Marines posing together and joking beside a hand-lettered tent sign preserve the camaraderie that ran alongside one of the Pacific War's fiercest battles.
