The 4th Marines and Soochow Creek:
The Legend and the Medal
by F. C. Brown, John Lelle and Roger Sullivan
A Merriam Press Original Publication
Military Monograph MM3
This work provides a detailed history of the U.S. 4th Marine Regiment from 1914 to 1942, with emphasis on its period of service in China.
In addition, the authors have included an amusing sidelight—the story of the (unofficial) Soochow Creek Medal.
Many of the photos have not been published before (gleaned from personal albums of Marines who were there) and depict Shanghai in peace and war.
A must for every Marine Corps buff and veteran, it records for posterity an otherwise little-known chapter of the Marines in China.
First edition, 1980 (originally published by International Graphics Corporation, forerunner of the Merriam Press). Only a limited quantity now available, only in soft cover saddle-stitched soft cover booklet edition.
