Summary
[edit]DescriptionAmerican Marines in Betio, Tarawa, November 1943 (colorized).png |
English: American Marines crossing Japanese-laid barbwire the day after disembarking in Red Beach, Betio Island, Tarawa Atoll, 21 November 1943. It is unclear whether the picture was taken immediately after the men from 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines captured the beachhead or much later, at the end of the campaign. The image could as well depict the unopposed landing at Green Beach, in the western extreme of the island at 1100hrs on D-Day+2. Note the variety of equipment and camouflage used. Most of the uniforms depicted are M1943 and would be the first time they were tested in combat. An interesting point in this photograph is that, while clearly being staged and not depicting front combat, it shows a Marine healing a wound in his hand. This might support the official statement that the picture had been taken on November 21.
