Damaged Cave in Iwo Jima

As the Marines continued their attack, during March of 1945, war photographers noted damage caused by naval gunfire:

NAVAL GUNFIRE caused landslide which partially blocked entrance to this cave in cliffs above northeastern shore. 3d Division units held positions along the top of these cliffs and outposted the beaches as they waited for the 5th Division to advance northward.
