About this book
Traditions of the United States Marine Corps
Author: Smith, Oliver Prince
Year: 1927
"The article reprinted here was originally published in the Marine Corps Gazette. It is well worth reading because it answers many questions which arise in the minds of those who come into contact with marines. Why do men enlist in the Marines? Why do so many of them spend their whole working lives in this service without thought of great financial reward? Why do they cling so tenaciously to certain uniforms, devices, songs and slogans? Captain Oliver P. Smith, U.S.M.C., explains these things in a way that holds the reader's interest from the first line to the last."--p. [3]
