Although they didn't stay long, the Marines wouldn't return to San Diego until March 1911. The 4th Provisional Marine Brigade, under the leadership of Colonel Charles A. Doyen, USMC, established their base on North Island, San Diego and named it Camp Thomas, in recognition of Rear Admiral Chauncey Thomas, USN, Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet.<br/>        The Fourth Marine Regiment, with Colonel Joseph H. Pendleton, USMC as Commanding Officer, landed again on 6 July 1914 and formed a new base on North Island and named it Camp Howard, in honor of Rear Admiral Thomas B. Howard, USN, Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet. During the Panama-California Exposition (August 1914), the 2nd Battalion was ordered to Balboa Park to set up a model camp. The results of this was the establishment of the Marine Barracks in Balboa Park, San Diego CA. The Barracks was opened on 19 December 1914 and Major William N. McKelvy was the Commanding Officer of 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines. Col. Pendleton established his regimental headquarters in the Science and Education Building. The Marines stayed in Balboa Park until December 1921 when the Dutch Flats area was completed for them. In August 1923, the Marine Corps Recruit Depot was moved from Mare Island CA to the San Diego Marine Base. On 1 March 1924 the base was officially named Marine Corps Base, Naval Operating Base, San Diego CA and would remain this name for the next 24 years. Many smaller bases were constructed within the San Diego area and these will be mentioned when the postmarks are displayed.<br/><hr/>		Covers should be listed in chronological order.
