WW1 USMC 6th MG Bn, China Marine, Banana Wars, Silver Star Winner, Vet Lot

[usmcaviator]

Woodwork fresh from my local area. Belonged to a WW1 6th MG Bn officer, who commanded a Regiment in WW2 and turned General by 1946. Waiting on service file to determine why he was issued two numbered China Service Medals! Saw service at Belleau Wood and all major Campaigns of WW1, in Haiti as part of the Garde d'Haiti, and in Nicaragua. Won multiple Silver Stars and Croix D'Guerre for WW1 heroism. EGAs are fire bronze and 10K gold, patches are amazing and quantity cant be beat. Silver Star is BB&B and engraved. Coat is 1939 dated and named.
