Featured WWII US MARINE'S PHOTO ALBUM

Thought you might like to see this as, of course, I don't know if any of you have ever seen such and might want to.

I usually only watch for US Navy albums but this came up and what does it state on Marine's pay checks? Yes; Department of the Navy.
~
There are also Navy ships within but mainly as postcards. There are about a dozen loose photos and surely some missing, one an 8x10 it appears, but a great many remain.
Many are taped in and I'd better deal with those asap.
~
I don't recall ever seeing the red, white and blue photo mount corners before. Anyone have any? Please???

There are the usual, and required, South Pacific (Samoa) topless girls but the stunning thing is the deployment page list. Few can write like this today...or at all.
The page before is missing.

Look at the dates and location on lines 5&6. Oh my....

Very cool find!

 

Love it! Do you do much research on your album collection? That could keep you busy for a long time!

 

I'm guessing that album has found a home.

 

Oorah!

Are there any pictures of dogs in that album? It seems Marines adopt dogs where ever they go.

 

The Plan of the Day. Fond memories. I was a Navy Family Ombudsman for 11 years.

 

Yes! Many dogs !!!!

 

Yep!
I may reproduce some especially the 'nose art' one.

 

Oh! Yay!
That's great!!

 

Depends on what I get.
This man should be found fairly easily.
Though so far no photo is written on.

 

Enjoyed seeing this, thanks!

 

I've noted that no one has said anything about his deployment dates....
Odd that.

 

Why is that odd, Milt? They are hard to read since the images don't get bigger when you click on them. I had to zoom the whole page to see. Maybe that's it?

 

Thanks! Now THAT I didn't know!
I'll put just that one here, leave it small and see what happens.

 

I get it now! His ship left Pearl Harbor 2 days before the attack. Very lucky guy.

 

Indeed!
