Iwo Jima - Gettysburg
Thank you Frank for info on the medals. I was interest ed especially in the criterias.
No, Jon. I never got to the Laurel and Anchor. Normally I just went to the Officers Club discussing the Civil War with an USMC Colonel - I think his name is Walker.
Anyhow I think US press wrote that Iwo Jima was the "worst since Gettysburg". 6.821 dead, 19.217 wounded and 2.648 combat fatigue.
