blitzkrieg gsd Posted July 22, 2012 #79 Posted July 22, 2012 Are those his wings that he's wearing in the last couple pics you posted? Sorry if I missed it but do you what unit was his last?
VE45 Posted July 22, 2012 Author #80 Posted July 22, 2012 Hi Blitzkrieg, the wings were his. One set of dress greens has the "Vth Marine Amphibious Corps" patch but I don't know if this was the last he was attached to. Regards, Jay
124cav Posted October 21, 2013 #81 Posted October 21, 2013 How did i miss this? Killer group and great story too. The New Caledonia jump certificate is amazing.
katieony Posted October 21, 2013 #82 Posted October 21, 2013 WOW! An amazing Paramarine group! I especially like the studio portraits and the Australian made patch with red border! Thank you for sharing! Mike
Kurt Barickman Posted October 21, 2013 #84 Posted October 21, 2013 This is one of my most favorite grouping posted on this forum from its inception. Kuirt
VE45 Posted April 19, 2020 Author #85 Posted April 19, 2020 I haven't posted on the forums in a long while but I just received a few priceless things to add to my Uncle's grouping. My Cousin Jason (One of Cyrille's Sons) recently gave me a photo of my Uncle somewhere in the South Pacific. Not sure when it was taken or where he was. My Cousin Jill (One of Cyrille's Daughters) gave me his Bronze Star Citation for Valor.
bobgee Posted April 19, 2020 #86 Posted April 19, 2020 A truly "WOW" !!!!!! group. Semper Fi, Doc! Bobgee
Kurt Barickman Posted May 1, 2020 #87 Posted May 1, 2020 Still amazed by this group for a decade now and it just keeps getting better. Would like to see the USN crackerjacks when and if you are ever able. Thank you for continuing to update this thread and grouping. Kurt
Bellumbill Posted May 1, 2020 #88 Posted May 1, 2020 Incredible grouping! Don't know how I missed this - thanks for bringing it up again or I might never have seen it. *PASSES OUT* Best, Bill K.
Ivydiv Posted May 1, 2020 #89 Posted May 1, 2020 You could search a life time, or maybe 2 life times and never find a better grouping. Being to a Relative just makes it icing on the cake. Great grouping. Thanks for sharing. Dave
Raidercollector Posted May 1, 2020 #90 Posted May 1, 2020 Great Grouping. Just Awesome for you to be the caretaker
manayunkman Posted May 1, 2020 #91 Posted May 1, 2020 How great is this!! And from your family no less. My favorite photo is the pullover with jump wings. I have never seen that before. Are the pants para marine ?
Sand Flea Posted June 5, 2020 #92 Posted June 5, 2020 I have to agree, this is an amazing group you have. Thank you for sharing with us.
