Bill Mochon was a photographer and U.S. Marine. His early interest in photography was put
to work when he served as a U.S. Marine and was eventually assigned to work for the base
newspaper. Upon his return to civilian life, he moved to California in the early 1960s and
began working as a commercial photographer. He worked for Vic Stein and Associates from
1974-1981. He photographed Santa Anita, Del Mar, and Hollywood Park races, the Los Angeles
Rams, and the Dodgers.
The
Bill Mochon China Marines Photograph Collection includes
twenty photographic prints depicting China Marines in Peking, now Beijing, circa 1912 to
1920. Photographs include images of the Legation Quarter, Chien Men Tower, U.S. Marines in
uniform, Marine barracks, donkey and camel transportation, and a view from the Tartar Wall.
There are also images of Marines in areas outside of the Legation Quarter, including the
spirit road to the Ming tombs. Photograghs are arranged in the same order that they were
received in.
The collection is open for research use.
