ASP PRESENTS:
One of the rarest pieces of US Marine Corp history, the uniform of the Para Marines used in the Pacific theater during World War 2. There was only one regiment of Airborne Marines and this uniform was used during the Bougainville Campaign (Operation Cherry Blossom) in the South Pacific. This is an in depth look and history of the Para Marines uniform.
