Soldiers render a final salute as a flag-draped casket is carried to burial in a field cemetery on Ie Shima or Okinawa, 1945. Scenes like this were repeated countless times during the Pacific campaign, as units paused amid the fighting to honor fallen comrades. This photograph, preserved in a 345th Bomber Group veteran's album, may depict the burial of a serviceman in the same cemetery associated with correspondent Ernie Pyle. Project: 218239
