M4A1 Sherman tanks ashore during the Battle of Cape Gloucester; picture taken from a LST, December 1943. This comes from a collection of photos taken by US Navy official photographer Elmo Jones using a Grafflex. The Battle of Cape Gloucester was the main battle during the first steps of the New Britain Campaign. Fought between 26 December 1943 and 22 April 1944, was a total success for the U.S. forces, since they had moved the Japanese defences from Cape Gloucester with the Battle of Arawe taking place as a distraction. It was the second World War II landing of the U.S. 1st Marine Division, after Guadalcanal. Many units declared that the place was infested by mosquitos and fauna worse than those on Guadalcanal. 12/1943, Elmo Jones #historiansunion #colored #colorized #colourised #colorization #colourisation #color #colour #history #ww1 #wwi #worldwarone #greatwar #thegreatwar #ww2 #wwii #worldwartwo #military #war #allies #axis #tank #beach #ashore #capegloucester #sherman #shermantank |
