Summary

  • Description: Howling Mad views the wreckage. Marine Lieutenant General Holland M. Smith, Commander of the Expeditionary troops in the Iwo Jima operation, and his chief staff, Colonel Dudley S. Brown, survey the bogged down, surf battered wreckage that marks the landings of the leathernecks on the Japanese bastion. The soft volcanic sands of the beach stalled heavy equipment making the vehicles “sitting ducks” for enemy artillery and mortar fire.
