Status: offline 		I stumbled across this one just today--it's a good tribute page, with combat accounts, sections on weapons, organization & equipment, and other interesting items-- http://www.ww2gyrene.org/ Check it out.

Let me add that the webmaster of this site, Mark Flowers, is a squad leader in the USMC Historical Company, a special unit that outfits itself in authentic WWII gear and does public appearances to show how the WWII Marine looked and performed in combat.

The more I learn about our Marines of the World War II era, the more amazed I am at how they were able to overcome such incredible odds. The Japanese were toughest opponent our nation has ever faced. It was just regular guys that became part of something extraordinary–the US Marine Corps, that helped achieve victory in the Pacific.

Semper Fidelis!

It covers their TO&E and the adjustments that were made as they battled across the Central Pacific. There is also a new Osprey book which covers the US development of amphibious warfare during WWII.
