Platoon, A Company, 710th Tank Battalion provide fire support to Marines of 3rd Battalion, 5th Regiment, at Horseshoe Valley in Peleliu Island, Palau during World War 2. View from Marine position overlooking the valley, as M4 tanks slowly move through the valley battleground. The tanks are accompanied by Marine infantry. Explosions and smoke rise from hillsides as shells fired by tanks (unseen) explode. View from behind Marines watching the explosions. Glimpse of an M4 Sherman tank with name, "Honey Rose" on its side. Camera pans over smoke rising from shelling. Brief closer view of tanks moving slowly in the valley and firing their guns. Infantry moving beside and behind a tank. Three tanks together firing their guns. More explosions and smoke in the hillsides. Closer view of tanks. Another view of the three tanks firing together.
(Note: Reportedly, the tank named "Honey Rose" was driven by Sergeant James A. "Jack" dayton, Jr. of Wheeling, West Virginia, who named the tank after his wife, "Rose." It was later struck by a Japanese anti-tank round that killed their machine gunner.The rest of the crew left the crippled tank with minor injuries.)
