14-133 Garand Picture of the Day - Okinawa

during their fight among the wrecked homes and rubble of Naha, capital city of Okinawa island, Sixth Division Marines are pinned down by the fire of the Japs. They take cover behind a wall and one peers cautiously around the corner to see what is ahead of them.

Unless the photog is standing in another doorway.....bit hard to shoot back with a camera, Aussie war photographer Damian Parer spent a lot of time with US troops eventually being killed whilst with them in the field
