mes Posted May 17, 2010 Share #35 Posted May 17, 2010 Jay Did you get his service records from St. Louis? They should be really interesting. I've never seen a jump certificate from New Caledonia.One my Paramarines group quallified there so it was good to see a certificate from there.

Old Marine Posted May 17, 2010 Share #40 Posted May 17, 2010 This forum is better than most museums, where else could you get to see things like this? Thank you for posting the photos. Just outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belleauwood Posted May 18, 2010 Share #41 Posted May 18, 2010 Most know that my interests rest primairly in WW1 Marines, but this is really one special group. My Achilles Heel is Navy Corpsman attached to the Marines and this one has it all. I would try my best to pull of of these great artifacts together for prosperity and keeping. This group is perhaps as rare and spectacular as any posted on this, or any other forum. You've got a good one here! Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanmc1114 Posted May 18, 2010 Share #42 Posted May 18, 2010 Any idea where he served in the European theater? Looks like he has a campaign star on his European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Dentino Posted May 18, 2010 Share #43 Posted May 18, 2010 Jay, I will simply echo what others have all ready said: This is one top notch grouping! Not only are para-Marine items the crown jewels of most collections, but I cannot ever remember seeing such a nice group to a Corpsman ParaMarine before. Just incredible. Not only is that super rare and very special, but the fact that it was from a family member makes this one of those special, one of a kind groupings that most of us dream about! Just amazing. Can you post more pics of the reversable cammo's? Just amazing though.........wow again! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VE45 Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share #45 Posted May 21, 2010 Here are more photos of the my Uncle's P44 set per Brian's request. When I was given these I checked the pockets as I do with all clothing (you never know what you might find) and I found half of a LUCKY STRIKE cigarette and sand in all the pockets. The P44's smell of deisel oil and there are small blood stains on the arms. I asked my Dad about the cig because I never knew my Uncle to smoke. My dad told me that my Uncle had taken up the habit overseas but quit shortly after coming home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
