Print measures 16" x 10" in size and is hand-signed by (23) WWII USMC Pacific Veterans. 

The reproduction of a USMC Recruitment Poster has been hand signed by WWII USMC who served with Eugene Sledge (WWII K/3/5), Robert Leckie (WWII H/2/1) and John Basilone who inspired the HBO miniseries “The Pacific”.  The Pacific is based on the books “With the Old Breed” by Eugen Sledge, which was hailed by historian Paul Fussell as “one of the best memoirs to emerge from any war,” and “Helmet for My Pillow,” by Robert Leckie (recipient of the Marine Corps Combat Correspondents Annual Award), as well as original interviews conducted by the filmmakers.  The extraordinary experiences of these men and their fellow Marines take them from the first class with the Japanese in the haunted jungles of Guadalcanal, through the impenetrable rain forests of Cape Gloucester, across the blasted coral strongholds of Peleliu, up the black sand terraces of Iwo Jima, through the killing fields of Okinawa, to the triumphant, yet, uneasy, return home after V-J Day.  

The photograph has been hand signed in black felt tip marker by: James Anderson, Harry Bender, Jack Brosnan, John Dillon, Richard Greer, Wayburn Hall, James Kerin, Sterling Mace, James Martin, Sam Menzelos, Fred Miller, Frank Pomroy (deceased), Clarence Rea, Leo Schmittgens, James Young, Charles Red Womack (deceased), Davis Hargraves (deceased), Robert Gray, Calvin Anderson, Edward Kieziel, Karl Momsen, R.V. Burin (featured in the HBO series “The Pacific”) and Sid Phillips (featured in the HBO Series “The Pacific” and Ken Burns “The War” - deceased).

The autographs include an official PSA/DNA hologram and matching LOA for authenticity purposes.
