t_player Posted July 27, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 27, 2009 Picked up this box full of paper work,manuals,photos, and maps locally belonging to a Marine officer by the name of C.W. Shisler. Took photos of a few of the things. Take me a day or two to go through it all page by page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FightenIrish35 Posted July 28, 2009 Share #12 Posted July 28, 2009 This looks like an amazing group of documents. CONGRATS!So come on,tell us,we all want to know!How much lol. And where in the world did you stumble upon this items..What is inside the KIA Section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_player Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share #13 Posted July 28, 2009 I got these documents at a storage unit auction. I had to pay $18.00 which I thought was high compared to what everything else was bringing. The KIA files have the names and how they were killed. By sniper and so forth.

Brian Keith Posted July 28, 2009 Share #15 Posted July 28, 2009 That is an extremely historical group! It really needs to stay together, or at the very least, all scanned and sent to the USMC archives! Nice save! BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FightenIrish35 Posted July 28, 2009 Share #16 Posted July 28, 2009 WOW! Well done....I dont want to be a nudge,but,if you ever decide to sell these docs please shout me a holler. Bery neat items. Are all of the items related to the 6th marine division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_player Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share #17 Posted July 28, 2009 Everything I see so far has to do with the Sixth Marine Div. and officer C.W. Shisler from the kiska task force which I think was related to Amphibian Training Force 9 and okinawa and China. Even a little on the 87th mountain regiment which I think was part of the FSSF and part of the kiska task force correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 87th Mountain Regiment was part of Amphibious Task Force 9 on Kiska not the FSSF. They would later become part of the of the 10th Mountain Division.

vivera1288 Posted July 28, 2009 Share #20 Posted July 28, 2009 More than likely if you contact the National Marine Museum and let them know what you have they will probably pay for you to have exact copies of those made for them. Seriously, a copy of what you have needs to be in the Archives of the Marine Corps. So just curious, anything else neat come out of that storage locker?

Teamski Posted July 28, 2009 Share #21 Posted July 28, 2009 Yep! A seriously historic pile of paper you have there sir! Wow! --Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_player Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share #22 Posted July 28, 2009 They were pulling stuff out of the locker as they were selling and when they pulled this box out the auctioneer said he had a box of books and papers and held up a field manual which I can spot a mile away. So I took a shot! There was mostly some used furniture, boxs of glassware, electronic equipment and boxs of old american rifleman magazines.

t_player Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share #23 Posted July 28, 2009 I dug a little deeper and came up with this kiska manual that was handed out to the troops in the task force plus some message booklets loaded with messages in the field of battle.
