Title: Iwo Jima Landings, 19 February 1945
Description: Ready for the Attack In full view of enemy observers on the sides of Mt. Suribachi to the left and ignoring murderous mortar fire raining upon them from all sides, Fifth Division Marines worm up the sandy slope from the beach at Iwo Jima in one of their relentless D-Day assaults. Quoted from the original picture caption, dated 27 February 1945. Photographed by Sgt. J.T. Dreyfuss. The original print came from Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison's World War II history project working files. It was provided to Morison by E.J. Long. Official U.S. Marine Corps Photograph, from the collections of the Naval History and Heritage Command.
