The picture on usmf pg 18, page 9 of the last handout you posted appears to be the picture that was used for the WWI "Be a Sea Soldier" recruiting poster. Very cool, thanks for posting this stuff, love it!

Glad you guys are enjoying it! Still have a few more to post! Seems to never end! Now I have to come up with some clever way to do an index to make them easy to look up.

the coolest part of this one is the drawing that some Marine must have done on the back. I like to picture a bored private on recruiters assistance doodling in the office. You never know!

I was following these like a hawk lol! Very nice score, Sgt. I liked the early Wake Island themed broadsides that guy had, Hated that they were all ending within seconds of each other...

I know!!! I tried to get them all but just wasn't possible with them ending that close together! I hate seeing unique pieces like that slip away! I happen to be a very greedy collector hahaha

Luckily I was able to land those Wake Island broadsides.

 

 

You got them all??? Or at least one of the few that had duplicates? Man what luck, Sgt....

Here is one I was really excited to get (I have an interest in learning more about the Marine bands particularly their earlier days). This is M.C.R.B. 62588 dated 9-9-31 (5M). It is signed by then Band Leader Captain Taylor Branson.
