Original WWII poster produced by the US Government Printing Office in 1943, 28 x 40, showing the brothers in their US Navy uniforms, captioned, “The five Sullivan brothers ‘missing in action’ off the Solomons. They did their part.” Rolled and in fine condition. All five were serving on the light cruiser USS Juneau and were killed in action when the ship was sunk during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal on November 13, 1942. These ‘Fighting Sullivan Brothers’ became national heroes, and their loss was honored by the likes of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Pope Pius XII.
