ocsfollowme Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share #55 Posted February 3, 2021 Post #40 shows then, Major Herbert R. Nusbaum, swearing in a handful of Samoans. I believe Tepulo is the one on the left in which you see him in numerous PR photos. LTC Nusbaum was the COC for the 6th Marine Defense Battalion from April 30 1945 to July 1 1945. Maybe we can find more photos of the 1st Samoan BN through his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocsfollowme Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share #71 Posted December 10, 2021 So post #59. This patch can also be seen on a USMC Women's cold weather hat that Bob Chatt provided an image for in Dressed for Duty: America's Women in Uniform. So this twill style below, is not an actual lava lava patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
