Bob Sherman - 6th Marines, Okinawa, Tsingtao China

I am looking for any information on my uncle, Bob Sherman and his time in the USMC. Anyone know of him or remember him? He was in the Battle of Okinawa as well as being stationed in Tsingtao, China. I have a photo of him with a buddy of his, taken in Tsingtao. He enlisted in Des Moines, Iowa. He was born in 1924. Any information is appreciated.

I don't know if he had a nickname or not. If you wouldn't mind sharing the photo with me, I can let you know if it was him or not. Thanks.

Hi. I don't know anything about a nickname for my uncle and neither does my dad. If you could send me the photo, though, I'd know for sure if it was him. I recently found out that he was with the 15th Artillery Regiment, 3rd Battalion, H&S Battery. I believe there was a reference to a 90mm AA gun in some notes also. He was in Tsingtao from 10/10/45 to 2/46.

I will get the photo scanned into my computer and email it off to you.
