hi all wot wot
now and again I get intrigued on certain things at the mo ment its gunnery sergeant john basilone a American marine k,i,a, iwo,jima the thing is there are so many versions/accounts of his actions, death, shot blow up by mortar/shell fire, on the beech ,at the airfield , any one from across the pond got access to official document say the burial party records, the hbo series pacific is accurate or not ? or just glorified tv ?,
but with out a doubt this man was very brave and deservedly the recipient of the medal of honour ,posthumous navy cross,purpleheart.
it would be nice to know, ta ta for now wot wot .

Try this site, then for in depth research the Library of Congress site. Although that site is very cumbersome to navigate.
