Headquarters of the U.S. Marines, Maison Blanc today. There is a question whether this is the same house as shown in ruined
condition in the old war set. This is however, the headquarters as is marked on the door indicated by the cross. If this is
the same building, the old view is a rear one, this a front. One window is out of place for complete check. Rearview impractical
because of haystacks against the house. Maison Blanc today. Headquarters of marine brigade near Belleau Wood. June '31, service
#6.
