Research on ancestry lists him as a demolition crewman with the 6th Marine Division, FMF PAC (Fleet Marine Force, Pacific), Sixth Engineer Battalion, and then in July 1945 at a transient center in the Marianas. Also he is listed in the U.S. Navy combat casualties books, so it's almost certain he was wounded on Iwo. I would LOVE to have these but I can see this auction going up to the $200 or more range.

I will definitely bid, but I tend to lose hope when I see a bid on the first day of a 7 day auction. Seems like more and more buyers are researching ancestry and basing their bids on what they find. Not that I can be upset because that's what I do. I just finally found today a USMCR tag to a rifleman (first I've ever seen on ebay), already with a bid with 6 days to go.

Actually that was the purpose of my posting it on the forum, so hopefully a forum member with the funds would pick them up.

 

 

And after several threatening messages, would give them to me for free.

I keed, I keed. I've got a nice tag to a Marine wounded on Okinawa, but I've always wanted something connected to Iwo.

one is part of a much larger group... http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/77503-fa-gonzalez-ii-wl-lakeburg%3B-usmc/page__hl__lakeburg

 

the other is to a 3/3 Marine who was at Bougainville, Guam, and Iwo (just found that out today, I had been yet to research it)

Absolutely incredible, that's all I can say. I'm glad that group is in good hands and will never be parted out.

Keep your eyes open on sellers websites ... sometimes dogtags pop at reasonnable prices B)

 

This year, I was able to find several dogtags, one is from a member of the company that took Mt Suribachi and another from a Marine who took part to the Southern Pacific campaigns (Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester).
