MZ registration numbers on Iwo Jima

Post by Robin » Thu Mar 25, 2021 7:55 pm

I was going through some papers and found some neat info. What I have is a partial list of communication equipment that was used at Iwo Jima. My papers are incomplete, starting at page 62, but interesting none the less. I'll type out the MZ related info. It's not very comprehensive, but it's something.

Corps Artillery
1 Radio T&R Eqpt MZ serial #767 transmitter unit for TCS

Corps shore party headquarters
1 Radio T&R Eqpt MZ serial #1399 USMC #54621

5th Signal Co. 5th Marine Div.
1 Jeep MZ (salvage) #54419

5th Amphib Tractor Bn.
2 Radio T&R Eqpt MZ serial #54621 & 53787

11th Amphib Tractor Bn
2 Radio T&R Eqpt MZ serial #53960 & 53006

And from the 5th Mar div after action report:
2 Radio Jeep Model MZ Jeep #53521 & #54343 left aboard ship

Not the best info, but neat anyway.
