description

Summary

Lot-1822-10: Marine Corps Base, Parris Island, South Carolina, May 1942. The Marines have the situation well in hand. That goes for anything they tackle-like the barrage balloon, for example. Special Marine Corps units at Parris Island gain rare proficiency with this new fighting tool that the Leathernecks have taken over. Office of War Information. Courtesy of the Library of Congress.
