I started this history blog to celebrate my late father, Herbert Bingham Mead. He served in the U.S. 1st Marine Division in China 1945-1946. His wish was for me to research and publish a book on those extraordinary days when he and his comrades were stationed in Tianjin and Beijing, China. Today we salute the service and bravery of those extraordinary men -and the people of China who endured and befriended them. Semper Fi!

Bargaining for Ricksha Rides
The weekend is here. Life and service with the American Marines in China included scenes such as this one. This clipping comes from one of my father's scrapbooks. There is no date mentioned.
What caught my attention was the name and title of the American Marine featured here. Corp. Richard W Miller of Philadelphia was a photographer connected with the 1st Marine Divisionin Tientsin (Tianjin). I'm interested in finding out if his photographic work is archived somewhere.
