Summary[edit]

Description 26-G-3565_Box 70_1: Invasion of Leyte, Philippines, 20 October 1944. Bearing down upon the Philippines. It’s “tenting tonight in the old Pacific” as this Coast Guard-manned LST moves toward the Philippines under a mighty shield of American sea-power. Tarpaulins are used to pitch crude shelters on the deck, packed with trucks and fighting equipment. Under these shelters, the battle-bound troops and Coast Guardsmen escape the hot quarters below decks. U.S. Coast Guard photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives. (2015/12/15).
