FAMOUS REGIMENTS: THE UNITED STATES MARINES
by Brig. General Edwin H Simmons

Raised in 1775, the US Marine Corps has served in all of America's overseas wars since then. They fought on the Union side in the Civil War. Amongst other conflicts they have seen action in the War of Independence, the Mexican and Spanish American Wars, Panama, China and the Philippines, and on the Western Front in the Great War. With the other Allies they ventured into Northern Russia in 1918 to support the White Russians against the Bolsheviks and, between the World Wars, they served far and wide protecting America's interests. In WWII their exploits in the Pacific were legendary - the raising of the flag on Iwo Jima has become iconic. Actions in Korea and Vietnam bring their story up to the 1970s
