From an estate, a handwritten diary that was found with other military items from a US 4. Marine Veteran, George Mowerr, who was in China, WW II and Korea. The diary was written by five Marines (their rank and last names listed on the first page) while on duty in China from Dec. 28, 1934 through Feb 1, 1935. There are 65 full-sized pages, handwritten in pencil, describing their trip up the Yangtze River where they were detailed as Armed Guards for the Yangtze Rapid Steamship Co. And later transferred to the I Pinged and I Chang ships. An interesting paragraph on the first page of the diary: This was written in the simple words of those who made the trip, so that as they ramble through its pages, they may live over again in their memory those days spent on the Yangtze River. I have to agree after reading this diary, very interesting details of their trip with lots of scenery descriptions of the river, weather and people who lived along the river. Paragraphs on Chinese ships and soldiers, description of night watch looking out for bandits and Reds. One of the trips ashore is described as, By chance we were witness to a very interesting sight this afternoon. We saw a number of Chinese soldiers forcing a number of Chinese civilians into service in the army. They must have had about a thousand of these recruits and they marched them down the streets four abreast. It goes into more detail, ending with the sampan going over the rapids. Many more interesting events, their thoughts and observations of the Chinese way of life, and beautiful descriptions of the scenery. A very well written diary with some sentences crossed out. Not sure if the diary is complete because it ends on Feb. With no mention of any transfer or change in duty, only that they were close to Shanghai. It ends with, We anchored for the night at 2200. Shaw said that the Captain told him we would be in Shanghai about 1000 tomorrow. Nelson is becoming more and more restless. He is longing for the dear old Shanghai nights.
