University of Maine at Presque Isle Professor Anderson Giles has led dozens of trips focused on World War II in the Pacific over the years, but it’s not often that these visits to historic battle sites and other points of interest result in coverage from the likes of the Chicago Sun-Times and Fox News.
That’s just what happened, though, following Giles’ trip to the Solomon Islands earlier this year. One of the many highlights was that a member of Giles’ group was able to bring home an Army dog tag discovered on a battle site and was able to return it this fall to the family of the soldier.
