My DAd was a member and fought on Iwo Jima 2-19-45 to 3-14-45. I am missing info on what platoon,company etc He belonged to. I would also like to hear from members of the same regiment.

Hi,my name is Mark Beaumont and I live near London in the UK.I have a fully restored 1943 Ford GPW Jeep that a friend set out to the USMC of WW2.
The markings on the front bumper are a semi circle with 423 inside.I believe this to be the 4th Marine Division.I have been given 2 meanings for the remainder of the marking -from my friend who had been told it was 4th MARDIV 25 Regiment 2nd Battalion Company E.I have been told via a bloke on E-bay that it is 24th Marine Regiment, 3rd Battalion, A Company.
I am now confused-I have trawled the net looking for reference pages and links to hisorical pages on the USMC but none so far have helped.
Can you help.
Hope to hear from you soon,Mark
