They were ordered to use a bigger flag so it could be seen from below, this is the second bigger flag they planted.

Some guys in pic were later killed

3 of the 6 died on Iwo Jima. "Flags of Our Fathers" is an incredible book on the battle and it's toll on the survivors.

I wonder what the casualty rate was for the actual combat Marines who took part in those island battles (as opposed to the support guys etc)
