Iwo Jima Operation, 1945
"Main Street, Iwo Jima --- Business as usual (is) the motto
of the Fourth Marine Division post office, established in a canvas
covered dugout on Iwo. Mail from home is as vital to front line
troops as ammunition, and rates the same priority (on) cargo
shipping lists." (quoted from the original caption released
with this photograph in 1945).
Photographed by Technical Sergeant H. Neil Gillespie, USMC.
Official U.S. Marine Corps Photograph, from the "All
Hands" magazine collection at the Naval Historical Center.
