Ralph Longstreet

Ralph Longstreet was a United States Marine Corps captain stationed in Shanghai in 1939. He was Pete McGill's superior officer.

McGill asked Longstreet to authorize his marriage to Vera Kuznetsova. Longstreet did not deny McGill's request out of hand but explained to him that for an active duty US serviceman to marry a stateless person in a foreign country posed extreme legal difficulties.

Longstreet, who came from the Deep South, may or may not have been related to James Longstreet.
