muddyboots Posted February 22, 2018 #1 Posted February 22, 2018 I picked this up at a local shop and was researching some of the names and was lucky enough to find out that it so far traces to the 1st Marine Division and names that trace to 3rd Battalion 11th Marines. I have never seen a National China Flag bring back before so I was thrilled to get!!!!!
USCapturephotos Posted February 22, 2018 #3 Posted February 22, 2018 Wow. That is a great bring back piece! So much research potential! Paul
trenchfoot Posted February 22, 2018 #7 Posted February 22, 2018 Is it signed by a Robert McClellan? He was in the 11th Marine Regiment.
muddyboots Posted February 22, 2018 Author #8 Posted February 22, 2018 Willis M Walls 3rd Battalion 11th Marines.
muddyboots Posted February 22, 2018 Author #9 Posted February 22, 2018 A lot of the names are really hard to read but I have been lucky so far to trace a few.
huntssurplus Posted February 22, 2018 #10 Posted February 22, 2018 Incredible brink back! Thanks for sharing!Hunt
muddyboots Posted February 22, 2018 Author #11 Posted February 22, 2018 I did find Charlie E Jackson in the 2nd Battalion 11th Marines and the muster roll says Peiping China.
katieony Posted February 22, 2018 #12 Posted February 22, 2018 A really interesting and historic flag!
trenchfoot Posted February 22, 2018 #13 Posted February 22, 2018 I have 2 helmets from 11th marine regiment guys, one being Robert McClellan and the other Charles J Kane Jr, both serving in the Korean War. Could you check if any of them signed it? I said something before but forgot the other marines name.

I will check as soon as I rest my eyes I will send you a message and a photo of them if they are there.
