For those interested, Gunnery Sergeant Clarence E. Petrie's ( Company D, First Battalion, 2nd Marines) medal group was sold today at Rock Island Auctions.  A beautiful group it was with uniform, medals, pictures and citations.

 

Hammer price was $18K + 20%.  The CGM...a thing of beauty!!

Yup, Bob Gill acquired that group from Petrie’s family years ago.  Only two CGMs awarded for Tarawa and both groups in the hands of collectors; congratulations to the new owner of this fantastic group!!!
