USMCRECON Posted December 19, 2008 Share #51 Posted December 19, 2008 I'll drag out some more this weekend but here's a bit of a teaser of some of the other ones. Yes, I realize that not all of those shown in the picture are earlier than WW-II. I just didn't have time to move them around tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Barickman Posted December 19, 2008 Share #52 Posted December 19, 2008 Nice 6th Division Corpsman, do you have a name with that one? Kurt Barickman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLHSS Posted December 19, 2008 Share #53 Posted December 19, 2008 Great stuff Have you got a name with the FMF HQ Corpsman tunic with the Legion of Merit ribbon? Kurt Barickman Kurt, The photo isn't the greatest .... it's a navy good conduct vs. a legion of merit. The photo angle shows the shrinkage of the ribbon on the medal rack. Thanks, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCRECON Posted December 20, 2008 Share #54 Posted December 20, 2008 Nice 6th Division Corpsman, do you have a name with that one? Kurt Barickman Hi Kurt. As you can probably deduce from the photo taken through the glass, it's in a display case. I'll try to find some time later this weekend to open it up and look for one.

Kurt Barickman Posted December 20, 2008 Share #55 Posted December 20, 2008 Thanks, I have a rare and out of print Naval Medical Doctors and Corpsman mongraph and if you give me the name I could probably give you some data on that great item. Let me know. Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunbarrel Posted December 21, 2008 Share #56 Posted December 21, 2008 Great uniforms, guys. Here is my modest WWII Marine uniform collection; I hope you find it interesting. Here is my 2nd Marine Division tunic. It is not named, but notice the arm (communications?) patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunbarrel Posted December 21, 2008 Share #57 Posted December 21, 2008 I believe this other uniform is late-war, because of the Vandegrift. First, the suitcase where it was stored when I got it. I continue to keep it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunbarrel Posted December 21, 2008 Share #63 Posted December 21, 2008 Next are my uniforms of Navy Corpsman 1st Class J. H. Edelman. First, his well-worn Marine khaki uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunbarrel Posted December 21, 2008 Share #64 Posted December 21, 2008 Edelman's Navy whites. Unfortunately, they had yellow stains, but my wife did a wonderful job getting 70% of them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMCRECON Posted December 21, 2008 Share #70 Posted December 21, 2008 Here's a couple more of mine. I've posted most of these previously about 6 mos to a year ago. The one immediately below is a 1st Division Captain. I have a photo of him wearing this uniform and a close-up of the photo is also attached below.

USMCRECON Posted December 21, 2008 Share #73 Posted December 21, 2008 I posted this one originally sometime last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCRECON Posted December 21, 2008 Share #74 Posted December 21, 2008 This Major looks like he never left the States. It has custom made ribbons, pinback sterling Major's insignia. It's in almost mint condition and tailor-made with a trouser belt is made of the same wool as the blouse and trousers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Flick Posted December 21, 2008 Share #75 Posted December 21, 2008 Gunbarrel: Very interesting stuff there. Can you answer me this? What the heck was a Marine doing in Adak? I have never heard of any Marines serving in the Aleutians. That is a new one on me. Great posts all. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
