In June 1917, the 5th Marine Regiment consisted of the 18th, 43rd, 51st & the 55th Companies.  They fought during the Battle of Belleau Woods, Soissons & the Meuse-Argonne Campaign.  They were twice awarded the French Croix de Guerre with Palm.  Following the Armistice they were assigned to occupation duties in Germany until August 1919.  It would be hard to upgrade these.   A nice addition to your medal or USMC collection of a hard to come by Belleau Woods group, that's getting harder to find.  I only ship Priority Mail, as the USPS confirms delivery.  I will accept returns, if I make a serious mistake in the description.  No buyer's remorse.  Item must be returned in the same condition as sent, no polishing, cleaning or alterations.  Must be back in my hands 10 days from your receipt of the item.  Description and photos speak for the item.  Good Luck.  Shipping to USA only.
