Original Japanese WW2 Canteen used on the production of the Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks produced war drama miniseries 'The Pacific' (2010), which focuses on the United States Marine Corps's actions in the Pacific Theater of Operations within the wider Pacific War.

The Pacific miniseries features the 1st Marine Division's battles in the Pacific, such as Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, and Okinawa, as well as Basilone's involvement in the Battle of Iwo Jima. It is based primarily on the memoirs of two US Marines: With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa by Eugene Sledge and Helmet for My Pillow by Robert Leckie. It also draws on Sledge's memoir China Marine and Red Blood, Black Sand, the memoir of Chuck Tatum, a Marine who fought alongside Basilone at Iwo Jima.
