How many USMC magazines and publications?

[SgtMaddoxUSMC]

I am trying to figure out how many various Marine Corps magazines and newsletters were published over the past century or so and from what dates they were in circulation.

Offhand I can think of the following... If anyone knows of any others, or has any clarifying information, let me know!

The "Marine Corps Gazette" I know was first published in 1916 and is still in production today.

"Leatherneck" was published first in 1917 and is also still going strong today.

"Harumfrodite" the United States Marine Corps Museum newspaper ran for just one Volume from May 1970 to Aug 1971. For Volume 2, the publication was renamed "Fortitudine" (The official newsletter of the Marine Corps Historical Program) which ran from Summer of 1972 and through 2015. It was again renamed and became "Marine Corps History magazine" in Summer 2015 and it's most recent issue was released Winter 2016.

"Walla Walla" the 4th Marines magazine ran from 1928 - 1941

"The Tientsin U.S. Marine" - Jan 1939 - ?

"The Indian" April 1919? - ?

"The Marines' Bulletin" started November 1918, unknown how long it ran for...

"The Recruiters' Bulletin" first published November 1914 and ran at least through the end of 1920.. Here is a link to a thread where I posted as many covers of TRB that I could find online:

"The Marine Corps Times"

NOTE: The strange title of "Herumfrodite" comes from an earlier, alternate spelling / meaning of "hermaphrodite" which might strike readers strangely as to how it could be in any way related to the U.S. Marines... The publication name was taken from an old Kipling poem "Soldier n' Sailor, too". The word hermaphrodite is LITERALLY a combination of the names Hermes and Aphrodite, the Greek god and goddess - their son being named Hermaphroditos. He was so loved by a nymph, Salmacis, who prayed so fervently that they would be united and finally they were, even physically, resulting in both male and female characteristics. The term can also be used loosely (with some serious discretion nowadays) to refer to a person who holds two offices... as Kipling was inferring when he said that a Marine was a "Soldier" and a "Sailor, too".

BTT. Anyone have any helpful info?

I'm not sure if it is still published, but there was a magazine called "Marines". Every year they would publish an almanac with data about demographics of the Marine Corps. I don't think the Marine Corps Times is an official USMC publication. I hope this helps.

Here are some more....Legation Guard News (1922-1935, Mar Det Peking Publication), Embassy Guard News (1935-1939 follow on to the Legation Guard News), the Chevron (a newsletter format for 4th Marine NCO's), The North China Marine magazine (1940-4, then in newspaper format 1945-1949), The Bamboo Breeze (Olongapo late 1920's-early mid 1930's), Legation Sentinel (Nicaragua) 1922-?, The Orient (a Navy-USMC publication out of Shanghai that was the forerunner of the Walla Walla. Hope that helps.

Each Recruiting Station produces their own publication, for instance, the 8th Marine Corps Districts publication is called "The Corner Pocket" and each depot has its own publication as well.

Each base also had a weekly base paper from WWII through the mid-2000s
