Summary[edit]

Description
English: “TELL IT TO THE MARINES---- Iwo Jima’s military defenses were a closely guarded secret as early as 1937, as indicated by an order which was conspicuously promulgated on this wooden tablet. Marines who took the island also took the sign for an historical souvenir. Published both in the English and Japanese language, the notice warned that: ‘Trespassing, surveying, photographing, sketching, modeling, etc., upon or of these premises, without previous official permission, are prohibited by the Military Secret Law. Any offender in this regard will be punished by (two words stricken out) law.”

"There's a sign that we found on the island that dates way back to '37."
