1945 battle on Japanese island (3,4)

I believe the answer is:

iwo jima

(Other definitions for iwo jima that I've seen before include "Battleground" , "Second World War battle island" , "Pacific island known for World War 2 battle" , "Jap. island (Nineteen forty five battle)" , "fierce battle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
