1920 USMC 5th Marine Regiment HQ and Barracks yardlongs

[Pbaczuk]

Here is a double yardlong with the 5th Marine regiment HQ depicted. I really like the barracks, depot and HQ buildings in the camp yard long. There are artillery pieces shown under canvas covers in the lower left side. The big drum is really neat, it says “Over the Top!” The command riw shows some “old salts” who were probably with the 5th regiment in France. Today, the camp is gone and a large grass field exists.

Those are great images. Helps to envision what it was like for these Marines in that time. Thanks for sharing!
