Brig Posted May 4, 2014 Share #1 Posted May 4, 2014 Another yardlong I picked up, a March 1918 shot of the 137th Co 2nd Replacement Bn. I was told a lot of these Marines were sent as replacements to 5th and 6th Marines following Belleau, but I've done no research on the unit yet.

GWS Posted May 5, 2014 Share #10 Posted May 5, 2014 Outstanding! Are their any names on the back? Please keep us appraised of research when you have time to do it. I'm still trying to identitfy as many as I can on the 96th Co. I posted a while back. Some good success but it is slow going. I'll update soon with what I have learned. Keep after it and thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share #11 Posted May 5, 2014 It's been re-framed at some point, I haven't had it out yet, same as with the Philly Supply Depot yard long I posted a couple weeks ago. It's on my to-do list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywifesgunakillme Posted May 24, 2017 Share #12 Posted May 24, 2017 I just found a yard long photograph of 138th company 2nd replacement battalion March 1918. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywifesgunakillme Posted May 24, 2017 Share #13 Posted May 24, 2017 I also found a two yard longs of 6th Marines Coblenz Bridgehead 74th Co. It's really neat as the photo was taken overseas and comes with a seperate yard long of the countryside and bridge they were guarding. Unit shoulder insignia is visibleon the Marines in the picture which was taken in 1919. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warguy Posted May 24, 2017 Share #14 Posted May 24, 2017 A very nice image, thanks for sharing. I love these Marine yard longs and recently snagged the "fighting Fifth Marines" on the steps of the Capitol August 12, 1918. Great stuff, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stucky151 Posted November 12, 2017 Share #21 Posted November 12, 2017 I just picked up the same yard long, looking online for some research and saw this old post. Did you ever find out anything about the photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
