The Things That Remain, Henry Sledge’s second book, continues the study of his father’s legacy, serving as a visual and narrative companion to With the Old Breed by featuring photographs of the artifacts and uniform items of Eugene Sledge.

In this visually stunning and deeply personal volume, Henry Sledge provides an unprecedented look at the physical history of his father, Eugene “Sledgehammer” Sledge, the legendary author of With the Old Breed.

The Things That Remain serves as a tactile companion to that classic memoir, showcasing a curated collection of WWII artifacts and uniform items that survived the brutal campaigns of Peleliu and Okinawa.

Through high-definition photography and intimate narratives, readers can examine the equipment that carried a Marine through the abyss of the Pacific War—from his combat-worn dungarees and field gear to the personal pocket Bible where he recorded his first notes. Henry Sledge pairs these items with personal reflections and memories, bridging the gap between the written word and the physical reality of combat.

More than just a catalog of military history, this book is a son’s tribute to a father’s endurance, offering a rare, “hands-on” perspective for historians and fans of The Pacific alike. This is the definitive visual record of a life that defined the Marine Corps’ experience for generations.
