Sunday Auction Honors the 75 Anniversary of Iwo Jima Featuring the documented tunnel relic collection of Brad Hartsell USMC (ret) In 1988, Marine Staff Sergeant Brad Hartsell was stationed on the Island of Okinawa and received permission from the Japanese government to visit the island of Iwo Jima. What started out as a hobby of exploring the WWII tunnel systems, turned into passion that has helped bring to light the final struggle of the battle from the Japanese perspective. Brad’s collection of tunnel dug relics and his first hand knowledge of the tunnel systems has led to lectures, a traveling exhibit, and consultation on movies. Brad will be on hand to give one final lecture at 9am Sunday before the auction. This will be a great chance to bid on these historic relics including the personal fountain pen of Japanese General Kuribayashi, who was killed in battle.

Personal fountain pen of General Kuribayashi.
