Recently I was lucky enough to obtain this home made photo album of Operation Keystone from 1954. The photo's in the album have discolored over time where they have rested against themselves, so I decided to separate the pages and store them in archival sheets. While I had it apart I went ahead and scanned them and thought I would share as there are some great USMC photos here!

 

Operation Keystone was a 1954 joint NATO operation between the US, Turkey and Greece, in which the USMC MedBn participated in an amphibious landing on the beaches of Dikili Turkey. As Greece and Turkey were not the friendliest of allies the Greek forces participated in name only. The photos cover everything from the USMC planning stages in Norfolk VA, the cruise to Naples Italy to the actual landing. If anyone needs better scans of any of these please let me know and I will enlarge and post.

 

Regards,

 

Mark
