SGT CHIP SAUNDERS

I know I am late to the party . Almost 2020 !! In Pride of the Marines John Garfield played Barney Ross

who was blinded on Guadalcanal early in the war

Also anyone remember Chuck Conners as Cochise and Ross Martin as Mangus Colorado ?

Did not Jeffery Hunter portray an Anglo American who was raised by Japanese Americans and went on to rescue

many civilians in the Pacific?

Who was the actor who portrayed Manila John Basilone MOH recipient and later KIA on Iwo Jima

Finally, I have not been able to locate the REAL . Sgt. Ernie Bilko. This is a great thread

As with Dan O'Herlihy casted as Marshal Michel Ney in the 1970 movie Waterloo in Post # 454, we found another one for the Napoleonic Era.

 

An incredible likeness and a great bit of casting of General  Pyotr_Bagration with Soviet Actor Giuli Chokhonelidze in the 1966-67 Soviet masterpiece, War and Peace. Not only do these two look a lot like each other, but both are Georgians, both born in Tbilisi, Bagration of course born there in 1765, Chokhonelidze in 1929.

I saw this one in the CIB thread- 

Bullion CIB worn by Major General Leonard Holland, Adjutant General of the Rhode Island National Guard, but couldn't get over how much he looked like Howard McNear, aka Floyd the Barber from Mayberry RFD!
