Beachhead on Morotai. Through the surf that washes the sands of Morotai, Yankee invaders spring to the attack from LSTs that opened their yawning bow doors 100 yards off shore. This picture of beachhead attack was made by Coast Guard combat photographer early in the action that broke the Japanese hold on the advance base in the Halmaheras.
