Served with "I" Co, 3rd Bn, 5th Marines,1st Marine Div. Was sent to Peking from Okinawa to disarm the Japs right after the war ended. Stayed at the British Legation Barrracks until Jan 1946 when I had accumulated enough points to be discharged. Also was in the first wave at Peleliu as a rifleman.

Hello, I have a photograph of officers posed outside the British Legation in Peking, China taken probably around Nov. 1945. My father, B.H. Gibson, is in the photograph. I've located two men in the photograph with him but they did not recognize him. If you were there at that time, perhaps you were in the photograph too. Please email me directly at watrbug@gvtc.com I'd like to see if you recognize my father from the photograph. Thank you. Carolyn

I have just seen your message.

I was stationed at the French Fort from Nov.45

to Oct.46. We rounded up the Japs to the fort.

Was there in either July or August when we got

ambushed on our patrol to Peiping.I remember

on our return trip to Tienstin,every truck had

the America flag on it. I believe the U.S. would

have declared war with Communist China if we had

got fired upon.

He was my dad, died july 87' he was a motor sargeant, transporting between peiping, and tientsin

Dear Sir,
Did you know a man by the name of Russell "Cactus" Randolph.
Sincerely, Preston A. Randolph

I let my membership expire. Could you tell me where to send my dues ?

I was at West Field outside Peiping in October `45 and South Field until June `46. Came back to the States on Gen. J>C> Breckinridge in July and discharged at Lejeune 10 August. Did you know my friend Eugene Sledge "Sledgehammer"? He wrote the book With the Old Breed at Pelilu and Okinawa? Are you a member of the China Marine Association? It only cost $10 a year.

Your message was old, but I may have some pics that may relate to what your talking about....my Grandfather named Colon " DOC" Weeks was in Tientsin in 1946, and I have those pics of his.
