I thought I'd share a small group of mementos that belonged to my father Chad Shaw, USMC. Most if not all of these items would have been brought back from duty in China--both pre-war and post-war. The Soochow Creek medal isn't engraved with his name, nor is there a certificate. I'm not sure that all the mementos are Marine Corps, nor can I tell how old the rifle badge is but for sure before the Springfield '03. The copper box is hand-made but I don't know if Chinese manufactured or if he made it himself. Do hope you guys get a kick out of these old goodies. Semper Fi, Jim
