Chuck Tatum Autographs
Charles William Tatum (23 July 1926 – 22 June 2014) was an American World War II veteran, Bronze Star recipient, race car driver and builder. He was a veteran of the Battle of Iwo Jima.
Tatum's war memoir, Red Blood, Black Sand, was one of five books used as source material for the Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks produced HBO miniseries The Pacific. Tatum is portrayed in the series by actor Ben Esler.
Tatum enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps with parental permission when he was 17. He was assigned as a machine gunner and was sent to the newly activated 5th Marine Division at Camp Pendleton, California in 1944. There he was one of only two marines - the other being Clifford "Steve" Evanson, whom Tatum secretly called "The Lump" - who was initially assigned under the command of Medal of Honor recipient, Staff Sergeant John Basilone ("Manila John"), who had been newly assigned as a machine gun section leader. Basilone, who had become famous as part of a war bonds campaign, was recognized immediately by Tatum, leaving him starstruck.
