What did soldiers do with dead soldiers?
{| |- | In most cases, the bodies were buried on the battlefield. Some of the soldiers, particularly officers would be sent home for burial. It was more likely to happen if the battle took place near a railroad line that was controlled by their side. Many of the National Cemeteries in use today originated near Civil War Battle Fields, or near places that served as hospitals. Arlington National Cemetery and Gettysburg National Cemetery are two such places. |}

Were the bodies of fallen soldiers at Iwo Jima return to the US?
The Department of Defence policy in 1947 was to bring home those servicemen who died or were killed overseas, if their relative requested it. About 1/2 of all families brought their soldier back to the United States. The other half were interred in local US military cemeteries near the site of their death, but not in former enemy countries, Germany and Japan. If not sent home, those Marines from Iwo Jima, were disinterred from the temporary cemetery on that island and now lay at rest at the The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (also Punchbowl National Cemetery) at Honolulu, Hawaii. It is the central burial location for those personnel from the Asia/Pacific theatre.
