Lighter Origins: The Marines' Hymn / Halls of Montezuma (45) RE: Origins: The Marines' Hymn / Halls of Montezuma 30 Jul 24

Just to clarify: the earliest mentions of the Hymn are from 1898, not 1906 as I erroneously stated on July, 2023.

See my posts of June 4, 2016, and March 27, 2023.

Sorry for the confusion.

BTW, the earliest known printed reference to U.S. Marines as "leathernecks" was in 1871, as "gyrenes" in 1889, and as "jarheads" in 1935.
