| During the Roaring twenties crime in America included robbing the U.S Mail. the U.S Marine Corps was givin the rather unexciting duty of protecting mail carrier across the country. With Marines standing watch these armed robberies came to an abrubt stop. the men who guarded the railroad cars and post office trucks in the western U.S were members of the 4th regiment. By Feb.1927 the mail was considered safe, and the 4th Marines were sent to strife torn China. The eastern marines mail guards went to Nicaragua to fight guerrilas in the last of the Banana Wars. |
| A very very cool project from you again old friend. I've actually thought about doing a Marine from this period, but couldn't find the right uniform. You did a great job on him! Special thanks for sending this terrific project in and sharing it with us. - GL |
