A veteran of the Guadalcanal Campaign, Frank Pomroy had already been hardened by fierce combat by the time he hit the beaches of Peleliu in September of 1944. However no amount of combat experience could prepare Frank, or his fellow Marines, for the hell that they were about to encounter on that small coral island.

Frank Pomroy would later be immortalized in a chance photo captured right after the long battle for Hill 200 near the Peleliu Airport. The photo shows an injured Pomroy, weary and exhausted from battle, resting his head in his hands. The photo is seen in the thumbnail of this video.
