Hank Taylor Posted May 7, 2014 Share #1 Posted May 7, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) On the Island of Palau the Marines fought their toughest battle , The Marine Corps lost more men then in any campaign before or since. 1st Marine Division suffered over 6,500 casualties during their month on Peleliu, over 1⁄3 of their entire division. This was a Japanese communication center that was hit directly by a bomb dropped by a Marine Corsair. Hank Welcome, dear visitor!

pauledell Posted May 7, 2014 Share #3 Posted May 7, 2014 Hank, A great shot and an interesting narrative. The battle was a terrible price in the lives lost. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenton C Posted May 9, 2014 Share #4 Posted May 9, 2014 I most enjoy, if "enjoy" is the right word, photos like this that stir up mixed emotions. My only personal associations to the Japanese are positive, yet my parents remember "the war", and the fear and I suppose hatred, though they never admitted that.
