The
heroic Sandinista narrative maintains that
thousands of US Marines died in the Segovian mountains during
the period of the US invasion & occupation. In fact, from
the beginning of the "second intervention" in mid-1926 until the
final Marine withdrawal on January 2, 1933, a total of 136
Marines lost their lives.
This page houses the
official list
of Marine Corps casualties in Nicaragua from 1 January 1927 to 2 January
1933. It might be noted that I have found nothing
in any report, letter, diary, or anything else produced by the
Marines & Guardia that contradicts this official tally. Of
the 136 Marines who lost their lives in Nicaragua during this
period, 32 were killed in
action; 15 died of wounds suffered in battle; 24 died of
disease; 41 died of accidental causes; 12 committed suicide; 11
were victims of homicide; and one was shot resisting arrest.
The full list is transcribed below (with the exception
of the "chronological tables," since the information they contain can be derived
from the other lists; these tables appear on pp. 8-9 of the JPEG
files, for which I ask the reader's indulgence for my coffee
stains and scribbled notes). Links to reports that describe
the specific circumstances are provided where
possible. (Photo above: Grave of USMC
Pfc. Michael A. Obleski, died of wounds suffered in the Battle
of Ocotal, 16 July 1927. RG127, US National Archives II,
College Park, MD.)

The date of Captain
William C. Byrd's death has been corrected to
March 8, 1928 instead of March 8, 1929, because
Capt. Merritt Edson mentions Capt. Byrd's death on the
third page of a
letter dated
March 29, 1928. In this case
the Official List of Casualties must be incorrect.
The date has been corrected to 1928,
not 1929.
