McCandless Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 Howdy, I reading a letter from a cousin who isn't around anymore. It's dated 1954, and not in good shape. The best I can make out about his unit is: Co D 2Ndamphtracbn Fmf Mri 2 Camp Lejeune N C. and another letter, date is missing, don't know if this is before or after... Casuals Cas Co H-S Bn, Mri 11 Parris Island Can someone decode? Thanks! Duc
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I can find references to 1st amphibious tractor battalion. Fleet Marine Force. MRI? Does it make sense? Not to me )))
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I can get pat of it - Second amphibious Tractor Battalion "fmf???) Second Marine Division.
Utah Bob #35998 Posted April 25, 2016 Posted April 25, 2016 I can get pat of it - Second amphibious Tractor Battalion "fmf???) Second Marine Division. I thought that 2mardiv was second division. I found MRI is code for major Command Recipient Identifier. So maybe MRI ! is code for the 2nd Div. But I am not now, nor have I ever been, a Marine.
