Survival Posted August 1, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 1, 2020 I have this named mess tin that came from a local estate sale many years ago. Its marked Blackie Luebbert but as I recall the Vets first name was John. He supposedly served as a combat marine during WW2. As I understood it the unit he served in was the same unit that many of the Marine raiders were transferred to after their unit was disbanded. Can anyone confirm that for me. Greatly appreciated and thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchangelDM Posted August 1, 2020 Share #2 Posted August 1, 2020 Hi i looked for your marine John Luebbert but nothing I could find. I’ll try and dig deeper for you - Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_usmc Posted August 1, 2020 Share #3 Posted August 1, 2020 Find A Grave has two John Luebberts of about the right age, one KIA in France, and another, PFC John A Luebbert, who was in the Army Air Corps. No Marines that I could see. Find A Grave isn’t exhaustive, so there still could be a Marine with that name, but I’ve found it a pretty good place for this sort of thing. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/117844971/john-anthony-luebbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznation Posted August 1, 2020 Share #4 Posted August 1, 2020 Wonder if this is him, although not John. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/196699249/joseph-raymond-luebbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
