Présentation de l'éditeur

Hold High the Torch, first published in 1960, is a history of the distinguished USMC 4th Marine Regiment. Prior to World War II, the 4th Marines saw service in a number of regional conflicts—including the Dominican Republic and in China. With the outbreak of the Second World War, the Regiment took part in the beach defense of Corregidor. With the surrender of Allied Forces in the Philippines, the survivors became prisoners of war and the Regiment ceased to exist. On February 1, 1944, the Regiment was reactivated on Guadalcanal, seeing action on Guam and Okinawa, and with the surrender of Japan, the Regiment took part in the occupation of the country. Included are numerous maps, 32 pages of photographs, a chronology, list of regimental awards, medal of honor citations, and index.
