ORIGINAL EARLY 1920’S UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS HAITIAN GENDAMARIE EXPERT TIREUR BADGE, PIN-BACK W/ LOCKING CATCH. MEYER INC NEW YORK + SHIELDS. ORIGINAL EARLY 1920’S UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS HAITIAN GENDAMARIE TIREUR 2ÈME CLASSE BADGE, PIN-BACK W/ LOCKING CATCH. MEYER INC NEW YORK + SHIELD. Soon after the landing of the U. Marines in Hayti, in August 1915, it became apparent that the existing police and military forces of Hayti were in need of a complete reorganization. With this in view, steps were taken towards the institution of a Haytian Military Police organization which would take the place of all the existing military and police forces of the Republic. This idea met with the favor of the Haytian and the United States governments and on September 16, 1919, a Treaty was signed between the two powers which among other agreements stipulated that a Gendarmerie should be organized which should take over all the military and police activities of Hayti. The enlisted men of this organization were to be Haytians and the officers to be Americans until such a time as qualified Haytians could be found to take the places of these latter. With the exeption of the senior grades, practically all the officers were selected from the ranks of the Marine Corps. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you!
