More U.S. Marines on the Michigan. The hand written caption for this photo reads as follows:

 

"This is the Marine Guard on board the U.S.S. Michigan. This picture was taken about an hour before we landed at Vera Cruz. This was taken on April 22, 1914."

Can you get a close-up of the ranks on the Marine squatting on the far right?

Thanks to all for looking, appreciating and commenting ...

 

Home front photo of Lillian Russell doing her best to help with Marine Corps recruitment during the Great War. This image was taken in Buffalo new York, I think, during the 4th Liberty Loan drive, which took place on September 28, 1918.

Close up of Ms, Russell's most singular USMC dress blue coat and tropical helmet. By the way, the hand written caption for this photo is: "Lillian Russell recruiting for Marines".

Another shot from Buffalo, New York's 4th Liberty Loan drive. This one of U.S. Marines and decorated French Alpine Troops, whose collective nom-de-guerre was the "Blue Devils".
