What part did the 9th Marines play in World War One?
Today I received "Fortitudine; Bulletin of the Marine Corps Historical
Program." Charles D. Melson (chief historian at the Marine Corps
Historical Center, Washington Navy Yard, Washington DC) has an article
titled "Dewey Canyon, Thirty Years Later." In it he states ". . . the
9th Marines was one of the Marine Corps' 'work-horse' regiments from
World War I, through World War II, and subsequent Cold War."
I know about the 5th & 6th Regiment and 6th Machine Gun Battalion of the
4th Brigade in world War I. I know there was the 5th Brigade in France
during World War I, but I don't think they saw any fighting. So, where
were the 9th Marines?
