WWI USMC 3rd BN, 6th Marine Regiment Belleau Wood Wounded Veteran
A named 3rd BN, 6th Marine Regiment uniform for a Earnst Franklin Hess who was wounded at Belleau Wood. Research showed that he was wounded in Belleau Wood when he was serving at on outpost on 23 June 1918 and was wounded in the thigh, both arms, and left eye.
Furthermore, he served in the trenches in the Verdun sector and saw heavy action. The previous collector attached CPL Hess' dog tag to the uniform. In one of the coats sleeves, but I cannot identify who those initials belong to.
Additionally, research showed the name Ernest instead of Earnst, as stamped on his dog tag. Finally, I cannot say why he did not sew the wound chevrons onto his uniform. Included on this is his French Croix de Guerre fourragere cord with the ribbon that has one gold palm leaf and two stars and a good conduct. There are some scattered moth nips.
