Summary[edit]

Description 127-GW-741-106161: Battle of Peleliu (Operation Stalemate), September-November 1944. Litter Bearers of Bloody Nose Ridge. Four U.S. Marines display an expressive reaction to the 5th Division show, “Boondock Blackouts,” which recently toured the Pacific entertaining men of all branches of the service. These men were a part of the detachment which was so highly commended for the work under fire in the battle for Peleliu. They were the men who carried the necessary ammunition up the rugged face of “Bloody Nose Ridge” and carried the wounded back to the relative safety of aid stations. Photographed U.S. Marine Corps Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives. (2016/09/06).
