Click on the starter source for more details then open the source box. Download a PDF of this whole investigation. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/ Page 1 PACIFIC 1939-1945: IWO JIMA WHY WAS THE BATTLE FOR IWO JIMA SO IMPORTANT TO AMERICA? For many Americans, Joe Rosenthal’s photograph showing the raising of the American flag on the island of Iwo Jima is highly significant. There are several reasons for this: • It is such a powerful and dramatic image • It is a statement of loyalty to the US – after such a hard battle US troops still had the strength to raise the flag • The image, and the men in it, was used in a publicity campaign to get Americans to buy war bonds (funds for the war effort) – this made millions aware of the image and the story behind it • Each side in this battle fought bravely • It was the first time Allied forces landed on Japanese home territory (rather than lands Japan had invaded) Casualties in the battle were enormous, which may have contributed to the decision to use the Atom Bomb.

  • A Guide to the Filmscripts in the Lilly Library Book Department
    From Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion to Zorro Rides Again: A Guide to the Filmscripts in the Lilly Library Book Department There are presently over nine hundred scripts in the Lilly Li­ brary Book department. The movies represented range from the silent version of Ben Hur to Breaking Away. The collection's scope is broad; one can find scripts for great film classics, musicals, mys­ teries, adventures, shorts, westerns, comedies, and science fiction movies. Many types of filmscripts make up the collection-drafts, cutting continuities, preliminary editions, shooting finals. Gener­ ally the scripts are accompanied by publicity photos. Although the majority of filmscripts in the collection are for talkies, several scripts are for silent films. The text of a silent film­ script is devoted primarily to directions for camera shots and de­ scriptions of the action, and provides title captions instead of dia­ logue. The earliest script in the collection is for The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (released in 1921), the film that gave Rudolph Valentino his first starring role. The Big Parade (1925), King Vidor's popular film about an average man's experiences at war, estab­ lished John Gilbert as a top star. The Jazz Singer (1927) was the first full length feature with both singing and talking, starring AI }olson in his first movie role. Wings (1928), considered to be the last of the silent spectaculars, was the first movie to receive an Academy Award. Clara Bow and Charles Rogers starred in this tale of World War I flyers. One of the most lavish films of the silent era was the the 1926 MGM version of Ben Hur, starring Ramon Novarro, directed by William Wellman.

  • 1945 March 26-April 1 Bloody
    1 1945 March 26-April 1 Bloody Iwo This week brought the first news of La Crosse County casualties in the Battle of Iwo Jima that was fought in the Pacific Theater from the middle of February almost through March 1945. Before February 1945, most people had never heard of Iwo Jima. A month later this tiny eight-square- mile speck of land, smaller than the city of Onalaska, would touch all parts of the country, and the county, because of the sacrifices made there.1 La Crosse Tribune, 1945 March 22, page 12 2 In normal times, Iwo Jima was a barren, desolate, inconsequential lump of rock and volcanic ash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with no redeeming qualities. But World War II was far from normal times. Even relative specks of land garnered attention merely because of their location. Just as real estate salespeople say now, it is all about location, location, location. Iwo Jima was halfway between American-held Saipan and Tokyo, Japan. On the south end of the island was an extinct volcano named Mount Suribachi. The northern end of the island was dominated by "rocks, boulders, chasms, lava ledges, and steaming sulphur pits."3 An American intelligence officer described the island as one-third airfields and fortifications, one-third cane fields and scrub growth, and one-third barren. A plateau rose on the northern two-thirds of the island.4 The airfields are what made the island strategically important. Japanese on the island could give early warning of American B-29 bombers on the way to raid Japan.
