    28 April 2024 Garand Picture of the Day - Graves B. Erskine



    In their search for a technical advisor for the 1949 film Sands of Iwo Jima, actor John Wayne and Republic Pictures turned to Graves Erskine, a distinguished military figure known for his impressive background.

    Very few could match his extensive experience in the US Marine Corps. Erskine's military career spanned from World War I through his involvement in the Battle of Iwo Jima during World War II. One of his most well-known assignments came in 1921, when he was entrusted with the solemn duty of returning the remains of the Unknown Soldier from Le Havre, Franceicon, to the United Statesicon.
