Original Item. Only One Available. This is a heavily damaged framed yardlong photograph of three companies of the United States Marine Corps at Paris Island, South Carolina, likely in 1915 or 1916. The glass is entirely goneThe companies are the 50th, 51st, and 52nd. Of note, the 51st Company became Company G of the 5th Marine Regiment, 2nd Division in France during World War I.
The photo has extremely heavy wear, with scratching and blemishes in the photo. The glass is gone and the photo is now loose with the metal spikes that keep it in place now pushed through the cardboard. This piece could do with some serious restoration, but Marine yardlongs from this period are very difficult to find. There is hanging wire attached, but it is modern-added.
Ready to restore and display.
