Some Clint anybody?
John W Thomason created this somewhat biting, though humorous, cartoon and gave it to Col Charles B. Taylor, USMC, a veteran of the Boxer Rebellion (China, 1900). Thomason depicts five Marine officers of the World War I era and how they change as they move up in rank. Thomason frequently made cartoons depicting Marine Corps life and often gave drawings and sketches to friends with shared experiences.
Thomason, a career Marine and a consummate professional with a deep commitment and love of the Marine Corps, was able to see humor and capture it with pen and ink.
