These three Japs are emerging from a cave at the bottom of an abandoned sulfur pit within a stone's throw of the Fifth Marine Division command post.

They were photographed as they surrendered to their Marine captor Private First Class Harold E. Ackley. The Japs had been holed up for 17 days and decided to surrender when Marines nearby, unaware of their presence in the cave, shouted Jap phrases at one another. One phrase meant "come out!" and the Japs accidentally heard it and came out almost immediately. 7 March, 1945. Photographer: Ferneyhough. 7 March, 1945.
