Anyone remember the M.P. who took his life in late 53 or early 54 at Middle Camp Fuji? This happened in the M. P. Barracks shower room. This is one great site. Thanks Sarge.

Yeah, I remember the incident very well--in fact, I recall the Marine because he had come into the regimental post office asking us to assist him as he wasn't getting mail from home, etc. Not too long after this, he got off watch one nite/early morning, and he was found in the shower room at reveilee.

I think I commented on that incident somewhere in my postings here on GyG's...

I was about 20 feet from the shower room. Someone came to my bunk and told me that there was something wrong with one of the MP's in the shower room. When I went in, he was in the left hand corner sorta sitting up. I thought he was drunk, but when I started to shake him, his weapon fell on the floor. This was the first indication that he had shot himself. As well as I can remember, he had just gotten off duty. This was a real nice guy too. Never knew what the problem was. He must have put the weapon in his mouth as the bullet came out the top of his head and lodged in the ceiling. I have a picture of him and his buddies If you would like to see them. Luck to you
