I have the books those drawings came from?

The author is a Marine named John W.Thomason, Jr

His two books are:

AND A FEW MARINES

and

FIX BAYONETS!

Stories of WWI and Haiti and Nicaragua and China and Sea Duty in the early part of the 1900's.

I saw this earlier....read it....and was stunned....in a very good way. Thanks for posting this.

Race, thank you. I assumed the drawings were from the titled "Rifles" (by R. H? Gannon?). This was the way I got it from g'nad - the poem with all the illustrations.

I have some Thomasons in my family tree. I don't know if there's a relation.

I'd love to get a copy of "Such as Regiments Hand Down Forever."
