Suribachi, Iwo Jima. I began watching Clint Eastwoods movie, Letters from Iwo Jima which details the battle that went on there and the construction of some underground tunnels, naturally, no Gold is mentioned.
I don't believe in coincidence, and found it odd that the lady who wrote the story and screenplay for that movie is called 'Iris Yamashita'. Could she be an offspring or distant relation to the General?
