Another Marine photographed in the iconic photograph of six men raising a United States flag over Iwo Jima has been misidentified, Marine Corps officials said Thursday.

The Marine Corps announced that Cpl. Harold “Pie” Keller was one of the men in the photograph, a development that comes 74 years after the Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph was taken on Mount  Suribachi by Joe Rosenthal, an Associated Press photographer.
