Description

Philippines. Red Beach on Leyte Island where US Corps troops landed on 20 August 1944 presents a different picture today. The orderly stocks of stores brought in by landing ship, tank (LSTs) and freighters from New Guinea and America are ample evidence of the extent to which the fighting forces are being supplied. Where were once rows of coconut palms and light undergrowth through which ran foot tracks, are now well-made roads carrying a constant stream of traffic.
