There are some things in Marine lore that are passed on as tradition or legend that have no basis in fact. The truth hurts, Marines, but it's more important to get our history right. Here are the four biggest fictions that Marines have kept alive over the years: 1. The "blood stripe" on the NCO and officer dress blue uniform pants commemorates the 1847 Battle of Chapultapec. According to Marine legend, a large number of Marine officers and non-commissioned officers perished while assaulting the castle at Chapultapec, Mexico in 1847. To signify their bravery, the Corps later authorized a red "blood stripe" for NCOs and officers to remember and honor their sacrifice. It sounds legit, but it's completely made up. Following an Army uniform practice about ten years before this battle, the Corps began putting stripes on its trousers. The color choice of the stripes changed over those years until solid red was adopted in 1849, according to the Marine Corps Museum. The Corps chose red at the time not to commemorate Chapultapec, but to match the red accents of the blues jacket. As Jeff Schogol wrote at Stars & Stripes: "While a wonderful story, and one that is taught to incoming recruits, it is only a story," Beth L. Crumley, of the Marine History Division, said in an e-mail. The Marines first started wearing the scarlet stripe on blue pants in 1840, borrowing the tradition from the Army. Moreover, seven Marines were killed at Chapultepec out of a force of between 400 and 450 Marines. 2. Marines have never surrendered . U.S. Marines are (and should be) proud of their battlefield heroics, from battling Barbary pirates to fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. But with that long battle history comes the claim that Marines have never surrendered. While this claim serves to motivate Marines to always fight just as hard as those who came before, it is not really true. Just one day after the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Marines — under the command of Maj. James Devereux — were under siege on a tiny Pacific atoll called Wake Island. The Marines of the 1st Defense Battalion put up an incredible 15-day fight, sinking ships, damaging or destroying more than 70 aircraft, and holding off the Japanese despite overwhelming odds. But the Marines were ultimately unable to hold off the enemy. Though their fight serves as an amazing tale of Marine bravery in the opening days of America's involvement in World War II, they finally surrendered to the Japanese on Dec. 23, 1941. USNI's Robert J. Cressman wrote a fantastic article explaining how the decision was made (emphasis added): About an hour after daylight (0630), Commander Keene picked up the telephone in the contractors' headquarters and found Commander Cunningham and Major Devereux engaged in conversation on the line. The latter reported being hard-pressed at his command post. He did not believe, he said, that the battalion could hold out much longer. Cunningham told Devereux that if he did not feel he was able to continue fighting, he should surrender. A discussion between the two men then ensued. "You know, Wilkes has fallen," Devereux stated. Cunningham answered that he did. Devereux then stated that he did not feel he should make the decision to surrender, that Cunningham, the commander of the island, should decide. Pausing for a moment, Cunningham then told Devereux that he authorized surrender, and to take the necessary steps to carry it out. Uncertain of his ability to contact the Japanese commander, Devereux asked Cunningham to attempt to make contact with the enemy, as well. Cunningham responded: "I'll see what I can do." At 1015 Kliewer saw men carrying a white flag coming down the beach. Major Devereux was among them, with a group of what appeared to be Japanese officers. They stopped about 50 feet from Kliewer's trench and ordered him to surrender. Kliewer's men counseled against giving up: "Don't surrender, lieutenant. The Marines never surrender. It's a hoax." "It was a difficult thing to do," Kliewer wrote later, "but we tore down our guns and turned ourselves over." Some will argue that technically, Marines did not surrender at Wake, because the Navy commander ordered it. A similar argument is made when referencing Guam or the Marine surrender (under the command of an Army general) in the Philippines. But that doesn't explain away Marines attempting to surrender during the little-known Makin Island Raid, although they were unsuccessful after being unable to find any Japanese to surrender to. Further, there are other occasions where Marines have surrendered throughout the service's history in this book by historian Albert Nofi, including the 40 Marines of "Task Force Drysdale" who surrendered to the Chinese during the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir in Korea. "We are not surrendering because you beat us," Marine Maj. John McLaughlin told the Chinese, according to HistoryNet. "We are surrendering to get our wounded cared for. If we can't get our wounded evacuated, we will fight on." 3. The birthday of the modern U.S. Marine Corps is on Nov. 10, 1775. On Nov. 10, 1775, the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, Penn. authorized the raising of two battalions of Marines to serve "for and during the present war between Great Britain and the colonies." Shortly after this resolution, Marines were recruited and served aboard ships, most notably as sharpshooters taking out enemy officers. What many Marines don't know however, is that the Continental Marine Corps was disbanded after the Revolutionary War in 1783 and ceased to exist for the next 15 years. It wasn't until July 11, 1798 that what we know as the modern U.S. Marine Corps was established through an act of Congress. For the next 123 years, the Corps recognized July 11, 1798 as its official birthday. The U.S. Marine Corps History Division writes (emphasis added): Until 1921 the birthday of the Corps had been celebrated on another date. An unidentified newspaper clipping from 1918 refers to the celebration of the 120th birthday of the Marine Corps on 11 July "as usual with no fuss." It is doubtful that there was any real celebration at all. Further inspection of documents and publications prior to 1921 shows no evidence of ceremonies, pageants, or parties.

  • Discovery of Japan by a New Englander: a Diary of William
    DISCOVERY OF JAPAN BY A NEW ENGLANDER; A DIARY OF WILLIAM CLEVELAND, CAPTAIN'S CLERK ON BOARD THE MASSACHUSETTS IN 1800: AN INTRODUCTION MADOKA KANAI* I THE IDEA THAT THE FAMOUS 1853 EXPEDITION OF COM­ modore Matthew Calbraith Perry did not initiate relations between Japan and the United States has been widely ac­ cepted.' Perhaps, the most balanced and factual description of the relations is that of Shunzo Sakamaki, Professor at the Univ­ ersity of Hawaii, which was largely written on the basis of pri­ mary and secondary materials then available in the two countries (J apan and the United States). Mr. Sakamaki points out that the Perry expedition was preceded to Japan - on at least twenty­ five occasions - by twenty-seven American vessels, including fif­ teen merchantmen, nine whalers, and three warships.' An effort to enrich Sakamaki's chronicle in terms of the analysis of the means by which the United States made the intellectual acquaint­ ance of Japan, has recently been done by Columbia University Professor Henry F. Graff, in his introduction to an unofficial diary *The text of this unpublished diary as transcribed from its original in manuscript, and annotated by Mr. M. Kanai, will be separately published by the Institute of Asian Studies as one of its published Monographs. Mr. Kanai wishes to acknowledge the cooperation rendered him while gathering microfilm materials, by Professor John Whitney Hall of Yale University, Mrs. Moyra L. Baker, former staff secretary at Peabody Museum, Salem, Massachusetts, and Mrs. MAP. Meilink-Roelofsz, Keeper of the General State Archives, The Hague. Credit and thanks are due to Mr.
