Glen, When I have a chance to unpack my boxes, I will look at my father's military records. He served in the USMCR during WWII and was stationed in the South Pacific, and also from the Scranton/Wilkes Barre area. I am sure that his records will show where he took his oath etc. His name was Joseph Reynolds.

Laura Thank you Laura, its very much appreciated. Since writing, I have received information from another source that the 1st Marine Division was the only Division to serve in both WWII and Korea. So this is probably my cousin's division. Your information may able me to narrow it down further.
