The Marine Corps has designated
the Week of December 7-13, 1947, as
Marine hymn centennial week,
United States Marines have sung
this hymn for 100 years, ever since
an unknown Marine put the words
to the music of an old Spanish
folk tune In 1847. That was just
after the "Halls of Montezuma"
won their place in the American
History when, during the Mexican,
War, U. S. Marines stormed the
historic castle of Chapultepec in
Mexico City. The unknown Marine
poet copied the first lines of the
hymn from the -hand-painted Ma
rine Corps battle flag which since
1S04 had borne the words "to the
shores of Tripoli." That phrase
was in tribute to the deeds of the
Marines in the war with the Tripoli
pirates. In one engagement eight
Marines commanded by First Lieu
tenant Presley N. O'Bannon, led

j Private John Whitten was killed
and Private Edward Stewart died
of wounds shortly afterward. Other
