WWII USMC 2nd Marine Division WIA Brass Dog Tags.
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:224347 |
These tags belonged to PFC Percy V Fuqua.
Fuqua was in Parachute training school for about a month and as indicated by a letter in his file, he and another Marine did something to have their Para training revoked.
After this Percy was sent to B/1/2 whom had just through the bloody battle of Tarawa.
On D-day, June 15th 1944 Percy would land on the beaches of Saipan.... Only two days later on June 17th he would be WIA but later return to duty. In his file it does say that he participated in action against the Japanese at Okinawa as well.
Wounded in action tags usually demand a great price and with two of them being here as a set on the original wire he once had them on the price reflects this. Basically, it is hard to find a nice set like this. His file , Purple Heart ribbon and patch are included for display. Feel free to shoot me offers.
Thank you.
