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!

Map of North China: NY Daily News, November 7,1945
This is a clipping found in one of my father's albums of a map showing important location in North China. The map is dated November 7, 1945.
Note that Beijing is referred to as 'Peiping,' Tianjin is 'Tientsin,' and so on. Also note the caption that states the Americans "will leave for home by Dec. 5."
