Have been looking for information on the last Marines out of China. I'm told there were 2 Sgts. that left and boared a ship sometime in late May or early June 1950.
Any Help would be apprecated

I don't know if this is specifically what you are looking for but it sure is interesting reading. The Tsing Tao Brewery, built by the Germans, is still in operation..I believe.
