USMC 6th Marines Machine Gun Company WWI Patch — USMC Embroidered Patch

Machine Gun Company, 6th Marines — The Indianhead Division

This patch carries the Indianhead insignia as worn by the Machine Gun Company of the 6th Marine Regiment during World War I. In the grain fields and forests of France, these machine gunners delivered the withering firepower that made the Germans rethink everything they believed about the fighting quality of American troops.

The Machine Gun Company of the 6th Marines was integral to the regiment's combat effectiveness at Belleau Wood and every subsequent battle of the 4th Marine Brigade's World War I campaign. Operating alongside the 6th Machine Gun Battalion (a brigade-level asset), the regimental machine gunners provided direct fire support to the rifle battalions, establishing interlocking fields of fire that turned German counterattacks into costly failures. At Belleau Wood, machine gun positions along the brigade line repelled wave after wave of German infantry, and the devastating accuracy of Marine machine gunners contributed to the German nickname "Teufel Hunden" — Devil Dogs.

Perfect For: Machine gunners past and present, 6th Marines heritage collectors, WWI weapons enthusiasts, and descendants of AEF Marines.

Devil Dog firepower — Machine Gun Company, 6th Marines.
