This is a 'Still' from the Navy, Marine and Coast Guard Film 'To the Shores of Iwo Jima'. (quoted from the original photo caption, released on 24 May 1945). The original photograph came from Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison's World War II history project working files. It was provided to Morison by E.J. Long.
