Grave Marker Believed to be Ernie Pyle's, Ie Shima Military Cemetery
A row of white crosses marks the temporary military cemetery on Ie Shima, where correspondent Ernie Pyle was laid to rest among the soldiers he had spent years chronicling. Pyle's remains were later moved to the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, but this photograph preserves his original resting place on the island where he died. Project: 218239
