Quantico Marine Base Personal/Post Guide Booklet, Pages 14-15
Pages from a printed orientation booklet for residents of Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, likely dating to the 1930s or 1940s. Guides such as this one informed officers' families and civilian employees about practical matters — transportation, taxicabs, domestic staff regulations — as well as recreational amenities including the Post Theatre, tennis courts, swimming pools, and boating on the Potomac River. Everyday documents like this offer valuable insight into the domestic and social life surrounding a major Marine Corps training installation. Project: 218163
