- lainga 8y agoA comment on the article - These guys were in constant off duty fights with US Marines of the 4th Regiment, USMC who were permanently assigned to similar duty in China. Several months before Pearl Harbor the “China Marines” were removed from China and sent to the Philippines. The French and British also had concessions there through 1941, when they were occupied by Japan. I think the Italians there would have had a rough 1940.
