Five TLSs from five US Marine Corps generals who saw action on Iwo Jima during World War II, all one page, each dated March or April 1945. Signers are: Clifton B. Cates, Roy S. Geiger, Keller E. Rockey, Harry Schmidt, and Holland M. Smith. Cates’ letter reads in part: “The Battle of Iwo was one of the toughest ever; the price was high but possession of the Island is well worth it and having it will hasten the end of the war. The Marine Corps wrote another glorious page in its history”; Schmidt’s letter reads in part: “Your thoughtfulness in sending me the newspaper clippings about the V Amphibious Corps in the battle for Iwo Jima is certainly appreciated, believe me. It is very gratifying to know how strongly the people at home are behind the Marines in the Pacific.” In overall very good condition, with irregular blocks of toning on each letter, intersecting folds and wrinkling, and strips of old tape at the edges of four letters. Accompanied by the front panels of each original envelope.
