Private First Class Jacklyn H. Lucas, who received the Medal of Honor for jumping on a Japanese grenade to save his fellow Marines during the Battle of Iwo Jima on 20 February 1945 (He was enlisted into the Marine Corps at the age of 14 and received the Medal at 17). THE BRUTAL reality of the Battle of Iwo Jima has been brought to light after a series of striking pictures were expertly colourised. Incredible images show wounded marines being helped to a medical aid station, two marines lying dead in the sand and a marine watching a Japanese position being shelled. Other stunning shots show riflemen leading marine flamethrower units along a narrow trench, two wiremen running through an open field of enemy fire to establish field telephone contact with positions on the front lines and a marine clearing an enemy position with a M2-2 flamethrower. The original black and white photographs were painstakingly colourised by Nic Rodriguez. Nic Rodriguez / mediadrumworld.com
