description Eugene B. Sledge was presented with this certificate of membership in the Marine Corps Historical Foundation on July, 17, 1985. An anonymous member of the foundation paid his membership dues as a gift for Sledge in recognition of his published writings about his combat experiences with the U.S. Marine Corps in the Pacific in World War II. Sledge wrote an account of the Battle of Peleliu describing the battle and his part in it which was published in the Marine Corps magazine "The Leatherneck," which he later expanded into his book With The Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa and its sequel China Marine. WTOB is one of the few accounts of front-line infantry combat in World War II. While the book was based on notes Sledge made of his experience, he also did meticulous background research and presented a wealth of general information on the battle to place his remarks in context. With the Old Breed was received with critical acclaim by veterans and civilians alike.
