This belonged to a Marine who manned a 3d Defense Battalion 90mm antiaircraft gun. He fought at Guadalcanal and Bougainville.

 

I'm not sure what some of the symbols mean.

Hi there,

 

I'm new here so sorry to just pop in ;) Not a huge collector myself but I do have a general interest in WWII and Vietnam militaria. I've recently acquired this sea bag and was wondering if anyone can help me identifying it? Era, history, unit, origin etc. If the label is correct this would be post WWII. Any info would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Here is one from a WWII Nebraska vet's estate I picked up locally. Haven't begun my research yet but seems as if he got around! Can anyone decipher the unit numbers?

Great tread that I've been meaning to add to for sometime now.

Here is one I got many years ago from the neighbor of the Marine. The bottom of the seabag has let go from poor storage but still a great looker!

There was a great show on the American Hero's Network about a year or so ago about G-3-1 Marines in Korea. The series is "Against the Odds", "Bloody George at the Chosin Reservoir", They still air it from time to time, watch it if you can.
