Guadalcanal

In part, this is down to the source material.

Whereas Band of Brothers was based on the book of the same name by the American historian Stephen Ambrose, The Pacific is drawn from memoirs by two survivors from the 1st Marine Division With the Old Breed, by Eugene Sledge; and Helmet for My Pillow, by Robert Leckie as well as the story of John Basilone, a hero of the vicious fighting on Guadalcanal who became a celebrity recruiting officer..
