Original Item: Only One Available: This is an example of the iconic USMC M1912 Dress Blue uniform with the rare Bell Crown service cap. All buttons are retained and everything is in fantastic condition. This model of tunic and service cap are integral for any USMC or WWI US Collection.

This is a full M1912 U.S. Marine Corps Uniform, including the M1912 dress tunic, dress breeches, and the dress Bell Crown service cap, named to Private John M. Powell, USMC. The tunic and pants are both near mint, in fantastic condition with one discharge chevron on the right sleeve. The pants are stenciled “J.M. POWELL” on the interior. The Bell Crown service cap has a full sweatband, partially ripped but still intact. The cap features a black leather brim, supported by pressed paper or fabric. The red piping trim was added when the 1912 model was patterned. The EGA is affixed to the front and is period correct with both latitude and longitude lines on the globe. The chinstrap is beautifully worn in a way that compliments the entire uniform. The cap has one or two tiny moth nips but is otherwise flawless on the exterior.

John M. Powell enlisted in the Marine Corps on December 12th, 1917, likely hoping to make it to France before the war was over. He was stationed at the Naval Ammunition Depot in New London, Connecticut for most of his time in the service.

The United States Marine Corps
The decades following the War of 1812 saw the Marines protecting American interests around the world, in the Caribbean, at the Falkland Islands, Sumatra and off the coast of West Africa, and also close to home in operations against the Seminole Indians in Florida.

During the Mexican War (1846-1848), Marines seized enemy seaports on both the Gulf and Pacific coasts. A battalion of Marines joined General Winfield Scott's army at Pueblo and fought all the way to the "Halls of Montezuma," Mexico City. Marines also served ashore and afloat in the Civil War (1861-1865). Although most service was with the Navy, a battalion fought at Bull Run and other units saw action with the blockading squadrons and at Cape Hatteras, New Orleans, Charleston, and Fort Fisher. The last third of the 19th century saw Marines making numerous landings throughout the world, especially in the Orient and in the Caribbean area.

Following the Spanish-American War (1898), in which Marines performed with valor in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, the Corps entered an era of expansion and professional development.

It saw active service in the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902), the Boxer Rebellion in China (1900). and in numerous other nations, including Nicaragua, Panama, Cuba, Mexico, and Haiti.

Between 1900 and 1916, the Marine Corps continued its record of participation in foreign expeditions, especially in the Caribbean and Central and South America, which included Panama, Cuba, Veracruz, Haiti, Santo Domingo, and Nicaragua.

Worth the wait!
Format: Kindle
I've been anticipating this book for so long and even reread the last one to get my mind back in that world. I was not disappointed. Valerie and Abby were perfectly paired in every way. Their chemistry was so apparent from that first time kneeling in the park. And their emotions felt so real, like you've felt what they're experiencing before. And Francesca, the antagonistic, really infuriates you to the point of wishing things that probably shouldn't be wished on to another person. But that's how you know a character is well written, when they can illicit such emotional responses from the reader. And my god, did this book have emotions from passion to playfulness and even hurt, but in the end, these two women stand strong and stronger together for what they go through. And I can't forget to mention Hazel who was just so stinkin' cute! The only critique I have was Abby's friend Erin, who, at the beginning didn't seem the most supportive and kind of judgy despite her own odd situation with her bf Dan. I actually thought Abby and Erin were going to have their own conflict from the vibes at the beginning. But then Erin was quick to defend Valerie without knowing anything about her on a personal level because Abby signed an NDA and Erin didn't really know anything about their intimate realrionship or what Abby went through at the house since she didn't really disclose much. I guess she could have done so off page and, maybe I'm misremembering, but it didn't seem obvious that Erin would've known Valerie was a good person so I'm just wondering why she would want to push them together. We know she was being supportive technically because WE know Valerie's intentions, but SHE doesn't know, and ABBY doesn't know, so from Abby's perspective, it just seems like more of Erin supporting other people over her. If it were my friend coming to me saying all the things Abby thought she heard and understood from her perspective during the 3/4 conflict, there's no way I'd be encouraging her to give Valerie another chance or be on Valerie's side even a little. It was such a minor issue even though, yes, I know I wrote a paragraph, but still, an almost insignificant annoyance that didn't sway my overall opinion. Just an afterthought that made me think about how Abby deserves all the support she should've had with her own family. Again, so worth the wait because I love this author and the characters she comes up with and the worlds she builds around these people. Health is so important and comes first so I would wait a decade for the next one. I'm so pumped to see who's up next in this friend group because I know there's another beautiful relationship waiting to unfold. Bring it on, Anna!

At Her Service
Format: Kindle
Another brilliant book by Anna Stone. I truly enjoy her books. The give and take in her characters is a delight to read. The secondary characters are well developed and added to the storyline. The angst was done well. The resolution was beautifully done. I always look forward to a new book by Anna Stone, and it usually goes to the top of my tbr. I will continue to follow her.

How do you control another woman? Just like this!
Format: Kindle
Anna Stone has written a thrilling very hot and sexy love story. I was grabbed by the end of the first page and did not put it down until the last period! There are so many things to build the anxiety; childhood trauma, a total need to be dominated, job stress, and that went to both MC’s, and then there was a stalker added for good measure. As often as my heart swooned, and my imagination took over … honestly this story is good!

Instant love
Format: Kindle
This is typical Anna Stone writing which means it is very enjoyable but will follow very similarly to her other books. Valerie and Abby have an instant connection so no build up really. The drama with the ex was introduced but not played up enough. Most of the drama with Valerie seemed to be handled like background info and fixed off screen. Same with Abby and her family issues like it’s mentioned but miraculously better at the end. I had high hopes for this but I’m really not into the instant love trope. I do recommend if you are a fan of the author.
