Coffee Wagon 2022 Schedule

This was the first time that the Marines of the two nations had fought side by side since the defense of the Peking Legations in 1900. Let it be said that the admiration of all ranks of 41 Commando for their brothers in arms was and is unbounded. They fought like tigers and their morale and esprit de corps is second to none.

Some Marines due to jobs or other commitments are not able to sign up in advance, but are able to stand in at the last minute to cover an open shift or cover for one where the original person has an emergency.

Special stand-in Volunteers maybe available on short notice to fill-in for others.

There was always talk of spirit-de corps, of being gung ho, and that must have been a part of it. Better, tougher training, more marksmanship on the firing range, the instant obedience to orders seared into men in boot camp.
