Voices of the Past | A Letter from Iwo Jima // Major Charles Williamson // World War II Primary Source @VoicesofthePast | Uploaded July 2019 | Updated October 2024, 19 hours ago.
Here we have something a little different to our usual videos.

To complement The Armchair Historian's recent video on Iwo Jima, here we present a letter from an American soldier who took part in that fateful day.

This is part of a World War 2 collaboration, enjoy these videos for more content!

How do we actually know about history? Voices of the Past is a channel dedicated to recreating the original accounts from the people who lived through events, or who lived far closer to them than we do today. We do this word for word, with an accompanying soundtrack of rousing music and images.

We've compiled a reading list of our favourite history books via the Amazon influencer program. If you do choose to purchase any of these incredible sources of information then Amazon will send us a tiny fraction of the earnings (as long as you do it through the link) (this means more and better content in the future) I'll keep adding to and updating the list as time goes on:-
