  • Us Marines, Manhood, and American Culture, 1914-1924
    THE GLOBE AND ANCHOR MEN: U.S. MARINES, MANHOOD, AND AMERICAN CULTURE, 1914-1924 by MARK RYLAND FOLSE ANDREW J. HUEBNER, COMMITTEE CHAIR DANIEL RICHES LISA DORR JOHN BEELER BETH BAILEY A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2018 Copyright Mark Ryland Folse 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that between 1914 and 1924, U.S. Marines made manhood central to the communication of their image and culture, a strategy that underpinned the Corps’ effort to attract recruits from society and acquire funding from Congress. White manhood informed much of the Marines’ collective identity, which they believed set them apart from the other services. Interest in World War I, the campaigns in Hispaniola, and the development of amphibious warfare doctrine have made the Marine Corps during this period the focus of traditional military history. These histories often neglect a vital component of the Marine historical narrative: the ways Marines used masculinity and race to form positive connections with American society. For the Great War-era Marine Corps, those connections came from their claims to make good men out of America’s white youngsters. This project, therefore, fits with and expands the broader scholarly movement to put matters of race and gender at the center of military history. It was along the lines of manhood that Marines were judged by society. In France, Marines came to represent all that was good and strong in American men.

Hemler Marine Corps History, Volume 6, Number 1, Summer 2020, pp. 5-17 (Article) Published by Marine Corps University Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/796454/summary [ Access provided at 29 Sep 2021 09:57 GMT with no institutional affiliation ] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. “Getting the Shells to Fall Where You Want Them” COORDINATING U.S. NAVAL GUNFIRE AND AIR SUPPORT IN THE INTERWAR PERIOD1 by Chris K. Hemler Abstract: During the years of peace between the First and Second World Wars, it is clear that Navy and Marine Corps planners failed to sufficiently address several problems that would confront American forces in the loom- ing conflict with Japan. Of these, one of the greatest omissions concerned the application of naval and aerial fires in support of an amphibious landing. Though American officers recognized and resolved concerns over landing craft, logistics, casualty evacuation procedures, communications, and much more, planners failed to adequately address the difficulties of controlling and coordinating supporting firepower in a triphibious opera- tion. The 1934 Tentative Manual for Landing Operations highlighted the individual roles of naval gunfire and air support without confronting the more general coordination of land, sea, and air efforts, and it minimized the importance of flexibility and continuous coverage in amphibious fire support. Keywords: triphibious operations, amphibious landings, amphibious fire support, naval gunfire support, aerial support, coordination of firepower, interwar period, Tentative Manual for Landing Operations raditional accounts maintain that the U.S.

The “Scholastic” Marine Who Won a Secret War FRANK HOLCOMB, THE OSS, AND AMERICAN DOUBLE-CROSS OPERATIONS IN EUROPE by Colonel Nicholas Reynolds, USMCR (Ret) Abstract: This article focuses on a little-known contribution to Allied victory in Europe after D-Day by a part of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the Special Counterintelligence (SCI) teams of the X-2 (Counterintel- ligence) Branch. Using a combination of private papers, unpublished studies, and OSS records, the author looks through the eyes of the commander of the SCI teams, Frank P. Holcomb, son of wartime Commandant General Thomas Holcomb. A Marine Corps reservist and OSS officer, Holcomb received a rudimentary orientation from the British in counterespionage and deception operations before creating his own highly successful units to perform those missions. In short order, the OSS went from having almost no such capability to neutralizing every German stay-behind agent in France and Belgium and turning a number of them back against the enemy to feed the Third Reich deceptive reports, accepted as genuine, thereby making a significant contribution to the security of the Allied armies.

  • Vital Records
    RECORDS OF IMMANUEL CHURCH NEW CASTLE, DELAWARE Compiled by Joan Zerbe The material presented here was compiled from the records of Immanuel Church, New Castle, Delaware. It includes birth, baptism, marriage and burial records from the parish registers dated 1714-1824, 1824-1867, 1867-1899, 1899-1909,1909-1931,1931-1985. The following information has been compiled and is available from the Church office but has not been presented in this publication: communicants, confirmations andparent's names of brides and grooms. Since many records of burials in the 1714-1824 period are missing, we have presented the following notable inscriptions: that of the Rev. George Ross, first rector ofImmanuel and Captain Richard Halliwell, first Rector's Warden, both memorial plaques appear within the church. Those of George Read, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, Jehu Curtis, whose inscription was written by Dr. Benjamin Franklin and Hercules Coutts, the earliest inscription, may be found in the Churchyard.
