Robert Leckie and Sid Phillips 1st Marine Division on Guadalcanal signed art

Description: "THE VICTORS" by Matt Hall Early December, 1942: a year after Pearl Harbor, U.S. Marine survivors of Guadalcanal swap hard-won war trophies after five brutal months of fighting. These teenagers-turned-veterans had endured savage bombardment by air and sea. They had weathered disease and near starvation. Ultimately, they had gone eyeball to eyeball with a seasoned foe and bested them in combat, giving America her first major land victory of WWII. Now, as the 5th Marine Regiment departs, the Marines of the 1st Regiment await their chance to say goodbye to Guadalcanal. They would leave as victors, the Marines who gave a shaken nation new hope. AUTOGRAPHS: Hand-signed by Guadalcanal 1st Marine Division veterans Dr. Sidney Phillips (H/2/1) and Jim Young (H/2/1), along with artist Matt Hall. EDITION: Victory Edition of 190 limited-edition prints. Includes signed Certificate of Authenticity with "History Behind the Art". SIZE: Overall: 31" x 19" Image: 28" x 14" SHIPPING: Ships rolled in a tube with full insurance. WHY BUY FROM VALOR STUDIOS?
