Pre-World War 1 and World War 1: US Marines Weapons, Uniforms, and Equipment

ASP's Blog: (http://autoshowcaseproject.blogspot.com/)

ASP PRESENTS:
US Marines Uniforms, Weapons, and Equipment Pre-World War 1 and World War 1. Like the US Army, the Marines uniform, weapons, and equipment evolved during the early years of the 1900s.

During WW1, the US Military feared gas attacks from the Axis Powers. Many soldiers and Marines were issued gas masks that were intended for work use in mines.

In addition, the war also developed the use of blunt weapon objects that both the Allies and Axis used against each other.

The weapons displayed are the Springfield 1903 rifle in .30-06, American Enfield rifle in .30-06, 1911 handgun in .45 caliber ACP, 1897 Winchester shotgun in 12 gauge, and the Colt 1901 in .38 caliber.

Special thanks to "Tinfoil Hat Man" for presenting his display of the Uniforms, Weapons, and Equipment of the US Marines Pre-World War 1 and during World War 1.
