Well, I'll chance it, and I fully realize you may have already hit this location.

I believe the Marines didn't transfer their personnel records to NARA until late 1995. I also had the personnel files searched for their 782 cards for the serial numbers of the sniper rifles. As...
It's OK Clarence, they can have the last word. Norton's meltdown appears to be over, and Kaliman has nothing to offer but nonsense, and I choose not to deal with classless people.
I've never seen...
I am a 90% service connected disabled Marine Vietnam veteran. I renewed my placard this morning. Calling me a keyboard warrior is about as cheap as it gets, but I am learning to expect that kind of...
Hello, Ed. You are right and I know it. Thanks for reminding me that I need to be above all the name calling and accusations. I was just stunned to see such a public meltdown. I hope he finds...
Tom, I would appreciate it if you intervene here.
Yes they can. Got any more unfounded accusations, Norton? You are doing yourself a lot of ill with your tirade. I don't think I have ever...
I realize you, in your own pitiful way, are trying to help out your friend, Norton. if you are going to involve yourself, please try to grasp what is being stated. Instead of using off the wall...
In your email, you claimed she worked for the Museum. The personnel at Cody told me no one there did research
You found it? Come on. We both pay people to look for us.
I never find...
If you had bothered to read Norton's previous posts, you would know he had already stated how and from where I got the document. How are your clown college studies coming along?
You are lying. Tom Jackson has sent me nothing. I haven't had contact with Tom in years. The ledger document I posted because you claimed JB sent me a copy of the contract, but he sent me a copy...
The highly touted picture showing the Marine sergeant kneeling down and aiming a sniper rifle in France is staged in my opinion (a common practice with the Signal Corps) for several reasons. First,...
Cite any instance of my using anyone's research without credit.
I wont bother to address your other comments, as you obviously are speaking of things you know little about..
Who might you be? If you are referring to the ledger entry, I got that from JB, not Norton, and I haven't used it for anything. Covering what tracks? You obviously have not been reading the posts....
Whoa, dude. I offered to split the cost from the beginning and you refused (still got the emails). So I hired my own researcher who spent a week doing gosh knows what and then you tell him that the...
I think you are losing control, Norton. You sound like a whining twelve year old that has had his feelings hurt. Man up, dude; and get a grip. Please don't tell me you are crying at your keyboard....
Oops. I think I hit a nerve.
Does this mean you aren't gong to respond to the post?
Interesting that it doesn't mention the type of mounts and bases, especially since we know some of them had the modified mounts and tapered bases. The depot sales were the source of the scopes with...
I need to make a rubber stamp of this reply. I am not confusing any shipments because I don't know didly about the shipments.
I will in the near future. Like you, I am getting my ducks in a...
Can you tell me how many SC pictures were staged? Is there anything in that picture that reminds you of France?
The uniform is not the issue (except for the campaign hat).
I am...
Again you claim to know what i think, and again you are wrong. I don't think you make it up at all. I think you connect isolated documents to form a scenario you want to be true. It's like the...
I believe it was taken in 1917, but what about the picture makes you think it was taken in France? You do realize that the SC staged a lot of their photos? "Through the Wheat" is an excellent...
Are you certain it wasn't broken into two lots?
No, the article is not from 1925, it is from 1916. You are terrible about making unfounded assumptions.
Norton, how can you say the other...
I do not have a copy of that order.
Note: I went back and reviewed all my correspondence with John, and John did send me a copy of a notation of the order from a WRA ledger, but not the...
I am not sure how you know what everyone thinks, but I think it took less than 30-days to complete.
You have now affirmed what I have said all along. The Marines emptied their armories of...
You might want to review what I stated. I stated the rifles were initially issued in March, 1918. I do not know, nor do I care, when they were shipped. I do know their final destination, where...
