A 6th Division Marine scorches a Japanese position with a flamethrower.

The heat gets unbearable...

American soldier posing in a  M45 quadmount in the South West Pacific area, probably March, 1944.The quadmount isn't loaded.One can see 2 ammoboxes sitting on the right side.The quad is most likely mounted on a LVT4 (landing vehicle tracked).Is must have been hell on a gunner's ears if they fired this weapon without protection.
