Troops provide comfort to two dogs after a series of loud explosions. PACIFIC: COLOURISED photos of US Marines fighting in the Pacific War?s bloodiest battles capture the true horror veterans faced. Remarkable pictures, originally taken in the Pacific theatre 80 years ago, show a battered US trooper proudly holding the Stars and Stripes aloft as his comrades scan the horizon for enemies; soldiers bracing themselves for fierce retaliation after setting off explosives at the entrance of a cave bunker hiding scores of Japanese; and forcing an enemy fighter to surrender after he emerged from a war-ravaged building. Another striking shot captures American soldiers clambering over a seawall defence on the island of Okinawa, where over 12,000 US troopers would be slaughtered. Mediadrumimages/RoystonLeonard
