Up for sale is a large USMC WW2 grouping belonging to Corporal Edwin W Ramme who served in the second Amtrac Battalion of the Second Marine Division during WW2. He served from 6/43 to 12/45. He missed Tarawa but participated in a number of other island invasions including Saipan, Tinian, and Okinawa and possibly a couple others.
