Marines in the tropics relaxing with a sip, okay maybe two sips, of an alcoholic libation. Date and location unknown.

This press photo was captioned : Marines in France. Debarking at a French Port. Probably 1917 or early 1918.

The inscription written in pencil on the reverse of this 6th Regiment, 2nd Division Marine is: "Slim in the Marines".

I can't quite make out the background shape of other guys' shoulder patch, but I suspect that he's Army, not USMC.

A wonderful shot of Corporal Albert R. Moore, 4th Marine Brigade HQ (center), plus another unnamed 5th Regimen Marine, and an unidentified YMCA volunteer, circa 1919.

A better look at the USMC collar disc, shooting badge, Croix de Guerre, shoulder patch and sergeant chevron.
