Capt. Fred Eberhardt Killed on Iwo Jima
Capt. Fred Eberhardt, one of the University's outstanding students, is among the dead on Iwo Jima. This information and the story of his battle career were told by his brother, Lt. Charles Eberhardt, 22, in a letter to his father in Salina.
Captain Eberhardt, 23, was an honor student, a Phi Beta Kappa, and president of Beta Theta Pi fraternity while at K.U. Although he was called into the marine corps a month before graduation in 1841, he was given his degree. The brothers, Charles and Fred, joined the marine corps together and trained and fought side by side for nearly four years. They were on Iwo Jima with the Fourth marines.
"I cannot tell you the date and place of his death," Lieutenant Eberhardt wrote, "but I can tell you that I was there and that he was killed in action leading his men in the way which has made him a near-legend in our regiment. He died instantly, from an artillery shell fragment.
"He was concerned with all mankind's suffering and ignorance and greed and malice, and he hoped some day to be a part of the educational or administrative system which would work toward eliminating those illies. Fred's greatness so far was shown only on battlefields, and the loss of that greatness is a loss which extends far beyond our family."
In a postscript, Lieutenant Eberhardt told his father he had been wounded in action, was in the Mariana islands, and was recovering. The Eberhardts have a third son. Ensign Chris Eberhardt. 24. Now back in this country after assignments in the South Pacific.
