26-G-3575_Box 70_1:  Invasion of Leyte, Philippines, 20 October 1944.  Giant Seagoing “Freight Cars” Unload War Cargoes on Leyte.  A flotilla of Coast Guard-manned and Navy LSTs, those massive-mouthed carriers of war materiel, disgorge their cargoes on the beach of Leyte Island early in the liberation assault in the central Philippines.  While anti-aircraft guns from their bows point into the sky against possible Japanese air raids, hundreds of American liberators build unloading “Docks” out to the LSTs’ ramps.  U.S. Coast Guard photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.   (2015/12/15).
