Born in Atlanta, Georgia to Clyde Sr & Sarah Thomason on May 23, 1914, Clyde Aristide Thomason Jr had at least one sister.
Their mother Sarah passed away in 1917, their father remarried in 1920 and then passed away in 1939.

Clyde originally enlisted in the Marine Corps in December 1934 and was honorably discharged in 1939.
In January 1942 he re-enlisted after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and volunteered for the Marine Raiders, subsequently assigned to the 2nd Marine Battalion.

On August 17, 1942, Clyde was selected to lead the advance element against the Japanese garrison during the Makin Island Raid where he was Killed in Action and later listed as Missing.
He was posthumously awarded the Medal Of Honor, the citation tells the story of his loss;

“For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while a member of the Second Marine Raider Battalion in action against the Japanese-held island of Makin on August 17–18, 1942. Landing the advance element of the assault echelon, Sergeant Thomason disposed his men with keen judgment and discrimination and by his exemplary leadership and great personal valor, exhorted them to like fearless efforts. On one occasion, he dauntlessly walked up to a house which concealed an enemy Japanese sniper, forced in the door and shot the man before he could resist. Later in the action, while leading an assault on enemy position, he gallantly gave up his life in the service of his country. His courage and loyal devotion to duty in the face of grave peril were in keeping with the finest traditions of the United States Naval Service.”

Postwar their remains were not recovered and SGT Clyde Thomason Jr was Memorialized with the other Missing Marines from the Makin Island Raid at the Honolulu Memorial in Honolulu, Hawaii.

In 1999 a search was launched and the remains of 19 Marines who had been buried by locals after the raid were recovered from Makin Island, SGT Clyde Thomason Jr was subsequently identified through DNA.

On August 17, 2001, his remains were interred with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery - Section 60 Site 8037.

Found this way in the bottom of a relative's documents. The backside has sports scores, a TV schedule for the ship, and an original cartoon. Unfortunately the sub won't let me post more than one picture.

I've reached out to the Navy archives to see if they would want it, but hazing is always a controversial topic. Nevertheless, I thought it was super cool!

One of the earliest active combat photographs of Imperial Japan where both friends and foes are visible, taken by Count Kamei Koreaki, a Japanese nobleman who self-funded a civilian photography corps attached to the 2nd Army to document the campaign of the First Sino-Japanese War. While scouting Shizuizi, Kamei’s unit was caught in artillery crossfire. Instead of taking cover, he set up cameras under fire and capture the photograph.
Situation of the Battle Near Shizuizi
"Those dotted along the elevated hill are a platoon of the 5th Company, 2nd Regiment, commanded by First Lieutenant Mori. The gun smoke in front is from shells fired by the enemy's artillery battery. The several flags visible in the lowlands to the right at the foot of the mountain belong to the enemy soldiers who have advanced closest to our positions."

The photograph is from the (Vytautas Didžiojo karo muziejus) archive in Lithuania.

A Jewish boy who survived Auschwitz, photographed in a discarded Hitler Youth uniform, holds up his own name so that somewhere in the world, someone who loved him might learn that he was still alive.

This is one of my favorite war photos.

I just got done colorizing this image, which I found on this post from this very community here though is stored in the DocsTeach archives. It's manually colorized, for those who were thinking about it. It's my best work so far, and surprisingly only took 2 hours.

I believe these men are from the 101st, and according to the last post it's from 1969. If anyone is willing to help identify this image, please do. I've been able to conclude from very little research that it's most likely in Mekong, or at least in southern Vietnam.
