I have the Dog Tag of Marine Sgt Roy W Leard. Also got his records which show he was awarded Yangtze Medal 1343, Expeditionary Medal 2383, and Good Conduct Medal 94407. I thought these medals might be some Forum members collection. 

Nice score, as usual, yokota57.

It looks fine to me, but two grand for a Garand makes me wince....   -Ski

I found an USMC  haversack with a name inside E.F. Hamilton   Is it possible to have informations about this Marines ?   Many thanks for your help

Hello every body I am interested by Devils'dogs History Semper Fidelis

I’ve seen a similar example before! I don’t have a picture of it sadly. 

Hi Hayden, when doing some research on radar officers I noticed there was another officer that had gone to Harvard for courses before going over to India.  He went over just a little later than Egedius.  While we're at it, can we acknowledge the elephant in the room.  Egedius for a name?  I've never heard of that one before and most likely won't ever again.  It's Greek to me and it is Greek.  You're right it will be nice for the 1945 Morning Reports to finally all be available online.  Everyone will have to re-trace their previously researched items and look their soldiers and airmen up all over again, but we can't look a gift horse in the mouth.   I do usually stick to Newspapers.com (which by the way is the best I've found out of the three major paid subscriptions), a FREE newspaper article website is fultonhistory.com (which I've found is mostly for newspapers on the east coast of the U.S. and sometimes will have articles that you can't find on the paid sites), Ancestry.com (which I get access to for free online through my local library, otherwise it's a paid subscription), the FREE alternative to Ancestry.com would be FamilySearch.org (which contains most everything that Ancestry.com has and occasionally might have a few tidbits more, although less user friendly than Ancestry), Find-A-Grave.com (A free site, which I've found to be extremely helpful when conducting searches on items were you might only be able to see partial names and for their obituaries and photos sometimes), NARA (for Morning Reports and Award Cards/Info, as well as other documents and photographs).   Below, I've copies all the URL's for websites I have used to conduct research from time to time and sometimes more frequently than that in the past.  I have them all save under a folder in Google Chrome called Military Reference.  I believe anyone can copy and paste some or all of these into your own bookmarks folder on Chrome or into your Favorites folder on a Windows machine.   https://catalog.archives.gov/search?q="Award Cards"&f.recordGroupNoCollectionId=64 https://archive.org/details/1945ServiceRibbonGuide/1945 Service Ribbon Guide.jpg http://www.watchcount.com/#serp http://www.joebaugher.com/usaf_serials/1942_1.html https://archives.lib.state.ma.us/handle/2452/124230 https://dmna.ny.gov/historic/reghist/wwii/infantry/27thInfDiv/Pictorial_History/27thInfDiv_PH_A.htm https://www.511pir.com/ http://accident-report.com/officers/usa/30_35/3035dir.html https://media.defense.gov/2010/Sep/21/2001330256/-1/-1/0/AFD-100921-044.pdf https://www.ww2-airborne.us/units/504/504.html http://www.joebaugher.com/ http://amache.org/ http://www.americanairmuseum.com/ https://www.americanancestors.org/index.aspx http://aafcollection.info/items/list.php http://www.ww2wings.com/ https://www.ww2wings.com/main.shtml http://www.b26.com/ http://www.cdnmilitarycollectors.com/ https://www.nps.gov/wapa/learn/historyculture/guam-armed-forces-casualties.htm http://www.cbi-history.com/part_iii_adg.html https://sites.google.com/view/ccc-uniforms/home https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/ https://www.ancestrypaths.com/military-records/civil-war-military-records-colored-troops/ https://www.classicfirearms.com/ http://www.criticalpast.com/ http://hglanham.tripod.com/metalinsignia2/datingclutches.html http://encyclopedia.densho.org/ https://thechaplainkit.com/history/general-military-history/determining-dates-of-historic-military-clothing-equipment/ http://dscdatabase.com/ https://www.etohistory.com/members?utm_source=so&configurationId=7b6d98dd-919d-40d8-b9d5-ada3ce5f9949&actionId=8adaa0b8-8a25-49e1-90ab-e9ac0ad45ef7&cid=5cadfdb9-dbb6-4207-946a-cfd41be71b1d&utm_content=a3bfe6a9-402d-486a-bb76-52ef79df458e&utm_campaign=8e77cc7f-d03d-47e8-8a25-7253a8f21ce4&utm_medium=mail http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp http://www.findagrave.com/ https://www.fdmuseum.org/researchers/digital-archives/ https://firstdivisionmuseum.nmtvault.com/jsp/PsSearchResults.jsp https://www.gutenberg.org/ http://fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html http://www.gaylord.com/ https://jref.com/forums/good-luck-flags-militaria.206/ https://ddr.densho.org/browse/facility/4/ https://gravelocator.cem.va.gov/ngl/ https://griffinmilitaria.com/ http://gunstands.com/index.htm https://valor.militarytimes.com/ http://www.hollingermetaledge.com/ https://www.honorstates.org/ https://www.usmcu.edu/Portals/218/Hough_The Assault on Peleliu.pdf https://www.amyjohnsoncrow.com/how-to-decode-a-wwii-army-serial-number/ https://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/ref/FM/index.html https://archive.org/search.php?query="Charles L.

I have a Marine Dog Tag that I’d different than my other Marine Dog Tags in font. Has any other seen this font? He served from 1926-1947. 

That's great information.
