Does that bring back memories? Sort of ... I went thru Parris Island in the spring of 1964 ... 19 years after the landing on Iwo Jima. One of the motivational/history of the Corps films we were shown was the amphibious landing and subsequent battle on Iwo. One of the shots taken was by a Marine combat cameraman as a Jap shell exploded in the frame ... he was killed but the film was recovered.

I left Beautiful Beaufort in 1963. (Marine Corps brat, I was 10)
Is that the one with the shell exploding on the deck of a ship? I remember that one.
