EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history during World War II. As the sun sets on the horizon, US amphibious tanks line a beach, resolutely bringing in vital supplies to American marines who have bravely landed on the Japanese-held Emirau Island in the St Matthias group of the Southwest Pacific.

In the background, troops form a chain in the surf, united in their mission to convey materials from sea to land. This image serves as a testament to their unwavering determination and camaraderie amidst challenging circumstances. On 20th March 1944, US marines successfully seized control of Emirau Island.

It marked another significant step towards ultimate triumph over tyranny.
