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!

Mid-Autumn Festival Wishes to All
From me and my family to yours wherever you may be I wanted to extend heartfelt wishes as the Mid-Autumn Festival season is here. Please be safe and well!
Of course, if you are a China Marine or a Chinese citizen -or a descendent of either- I would enjoy hearing from you about any stories of the first peacetime festival period in 1945 and beyond!
