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

[@NoQuestions4sked]

This channel is great. As a Marine trying to assemble a WW1 dress blue outfit, this is invaluable information.

[@joeykse8604]

Nice educational video! My Great Grandfather was in the Marines in WWII. He never spoke of the war to me cause I was too young at the time but one day while snooping around in the basement I found his old uniform and all kinds of other really cool things. My favorite was the mortar round he had down there that was just for display after he rendered it safe. Anyways, after I found all that stuff I told him I found it and then he started telling me some of his non-graphic stories which some were sad and others funny as all hell. He passed when I was about 14 years old and about 90% of his old things he left for me in his will cause I was really the only one in the family that was and still am very much so into those things and all things educational from the Civil War all the way to present day Afghanistan war. Thanks for posting this, it took me back to all of those awesome memories with/of him.

[@willynthepoorboys2]

Great string of videos,thank you for filming this to share with us all.

[@RiflemanMoore]

Just to say the inference that the Small Box Respirator was developed directly from the kind of breathing apparatus used in coal mines is incorrect. The facepiece was developed from the German Gumimask and the filter as a smaller version of that used with the Large Box Respirator. It was bulkier than the German mask but gave better protection, it was designed as a combat mask and the reason the Americans adopted it was because it offered the best protection of any combat respirator on the battlefield in 1917-18.

Extremely informative historical video

You know what pisses me off? The guy filming this, after awhile, is giving responses like "yeah, uh huh, really". It's like, he's lucky he actually attended something like that. If I were there, it would be my heaven first, since I love WW1, and second, I'd ask many pertinent questions.

Awesome video... A major war that changed the face of the earth, that is basically skimmed over in most high schools. Imagine being a kid wearing and using these items in a trench for months. Often in harsh weather.... Thanks for the video. Truly educational and makes one thankful for what we have today.

[@PE1JAS]

What a very nice detailed description! Chapeu for these interviews..

[@KidnapSix]

Excellent and very informative description of all the items throughout the war. and the canteen cup still looks pretty much exactly like whats issued today.

[@mattr6049]

I have recently entered collecting WW1 usmc. I have a 1914 USMC pea green eagle snap canteen cover seen at 3:49 and a 1908 round canteen seen at 2:15. This video was very helpful!

[@simonkimberly6956]

Where did you get the round canteen? I have a collection but most of it I didn’t buy. I have a ww2 granatwerfer 36 practice round. Which is by far the most rare item I own and I haven’t even seen pictures of it the only way I figured it out was a translated German documents from ww2. Most of my items were my grandpas before he passed. Let me know if you want to hear more of my collection.

[@804_grandstaff]

Matt R it’s a p1912 canteen cover not a 1914 model

[@kengoodman7719]

Very interesting! Great historical review of USMC uniforms! Thank you.

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

very interesting, thank you from Kent in England.

[@harryb8945]

Just in case you dint know that p17 enfield is actually an old home guard gun. Many where given to the home guard buy the us in ww2. The way you can tell this is a home guard gun is the red paint near the barrel. As it fired the 306 round it had a red ring painted on it. So a old home guard privet with poor eye site wouldn't force a 303 round in to the camber and brake it.

[@0351nick-ch8ee]

[@yank-tc8bz]

The canteen is the same as I was issued in 1964 same with mess lit. The Marines wore Army uniforms because the color of their Pre-War uniforms was close in color to the German Feldgrau

[@804_grandstaff]

yank1776 no bro they wore army ones during the late war period due to the marines signature poor funding

[@davidkelly482]

Nice display. However, Sergeant Quick signalled to the USS Dolphin to cease fire at Cusco Well because another company of Marines had crested the hill and was now in the line of fire from the Dolphin. The Dolphin was the only ship in the area that day. Quick was exposed to gun fire from the Spanish in the valley as he signalled.

I have a question: What type of cartridge belt is the mannequin wearing? Those two smaller pockets on it are kinda funky and weird. What are they for?

[@montanamountainmen6104]

If you are referring to the first mannequin that's a first aid pouch. It contained a large dressing for gunshot, and shrapnel wounds.

[@amandahammond2691]

Sorry, I should specify. I'm referring to the mannequin in the grey Army-type uniform. The cartridge belt on it has two small pockets on it next to the fastener. What type of belt is that, and what do those pockets hold?

[@montanamountainmen6104]

spare pistol ammo

[@montanamountainmen6104]

And for rifle ammo

[@montanamountainmen6104]

During WW1 and WW2, the same cartridge belt was used up until the Korean war. In WW1 each pouch held 5 rifle rounds on a stripper clip to charge the rifle. During WW2 it held one 8 round enbloc clip for the M1 Garand rifle.

It is The only division ever formed on foreign soil, and the only division to ever have a brigade of Marines, or to be commanded by Marine Corps Generals Doyen, and Lejeuene! This guy needs to bone up on BOTH Army and Marine Corps history, and especially 2d Infantry Division History!

York had a M1917 the day he did the heroic fight that got him the Medal of Honor, this guy is wrong on so many things. The 1911 is not WW1 correct WW1 Colts were blued not parkerized, this guys full of .......... WWII 1911A1's were parkerized all thought some left overs from WW1 were in use. As far as the WW1 Campain medal, those "clasps" are like battle stars like we use today He said, "for what you did". I am a military historian this guy is what we hate.
