26-G-3570_Box 70_1:  Invasion of Leyte, Philippines, 20 October 1944.  The Exterminators Probe Leyte’s Jungles.  In Cliffside caves, curtained by the tangled jungle vines and creepers, Japanese snipers ply their deadly business of picking-off American soldiers and Coast Guardsmen occupying Leyte Island.  Here, two Yankees cautiously inch their way toward a pocket from which they suspect death had been spouting.   They were the exterminators, mopping up the Japanese that shoot from sniper nests.  U.S. Coast Guard photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.   (2015/12/15).
