My Dad was in the 21st Marines, 3rd Div at Guam and Iwo Jima and his Brother was a Gunny Sgt on a Long Tom all over the S. Pacific. So I collect USMC items. I was lucky enough to recently acquire a "China Marine" buckle with USMC 1946, Tsingtao, China, and the EGA between two dragons. I also got a ribbon bar, 6 collar insignia, a cover side button as well as a Chinese or Japanese pin. Some 2nd Div shoulder patches and a set of Green on Red chevrons that I do not know what rank they are. They are a triangle with one stripe straight across under it. The owner's name was "Harold J. Longendyre". Any info on him or what part of the 2nd was there in 1946 would be appreciated. I try to keep documentation with all my ID'ed Marine Corp items and do not sell any of them as they go to my youngest son who is named after my Dad. Richard Julius Marquette, after the battle he was a Mess Sgt. on Guam. Thank-you in advance for any help.
