USMC 6th Marines Supply Company WWI Patch — USMC Embroidered Patch
Supply Company, 6th Marines — The Indianhead Division
Behind every bayonet charge at Belleau Wood, every machine gun position at Soissons, and every artillery barrage at Blanc Mont stood the Supply Company of the 6th Marines — the Marines who ensured that ammunition, rations, and equipment reached the front lines despite constant German artillery and gas bombardment. This patch carries the Indianhead insignia as worn by the regiment's logistical backbone.
Supply Company, 6th Marines, operated in the dangerous space between the rear areas and the front lines, running supply trains through terrain devastated by four years of war. During the three-week Battle of Belleau Wood, maintaining the flow of ammunition to the rifle and machine gun companies was critical — the intensity of the fighting consumed supplies at a rate that strained every logistical system. Supply Marines moved through gas-contaminated areas, cratered roads, and under direct artillery fire to keep the 6th Marines in the fight through Belleau Wood, Soissons, Blanc Mont, and the Meuse-Argonne.
Perfect For: Marine logistics and supply personnel, 6th Marines heritage collectors, WWI enthusiasts, and descendants of the Marines who sustained the regiment in France.
The lifeline of the Sixth — Supply Company, 6th Marines.
