Actually, Bill, I did. The reputation of the Marines in China pre-war is legendary. I just haven't had time in the last few days to react online accordingly.

As stupid as it seems, W.E.B. Griffin's book THE CORPS covers quite a bit, albeit fiction, but it gives a good sense of the times. I suspect there's a grain of truth in several of the succeeding volumes of that series regards the disposition of China Marines after the outbreak of war as well.
