Pictures like that serve to remind you of how close to the enemy they were. You can't lob a Coke bottle very far in that type of overgrowth. Seems like a lot of the pictures from Peleliu show bayonets fixed. Probably a function of how much natural cover there was.

Peleliu was supposed to be a piece of cake, take three days. As we know, it was one of the fiercest battles the Marines had to fight. Worse, it was probably unnecessary, should have been bypassed and the enemy just starved out.
