craig_pickrall Posted June 2, 2012 Share #27 Posted June 2, 2012 The 69th ID patch was very prominent in the "Phil Silvers Show" aka "Bilko"...clearly visible here on Corporal Henshaw's shirt. Ian, can you find a shot like this done of the pilot show? They used a bogus patch then but it was changed to the 69 th for the rest of the series.

Teamski Posted June 2, 2012 Share #29 Posted June 2, 2012 The 172nd Infantry Brigade in "World War III" TV miniseries. You can watch the whole thing on Youtube. Some neat combat scenes in it..... Not exactly a military haircut on the good Lieutenant Colonel's head..... -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted June 2, 2012 Share #30 Posted June 2, 2012 The Deer Hunter.... They had the unit patches reversed on all of the main characters in this movie. The current unit was on the right and prior combat unit on the left. It looked stupid to see a green beret with 5 th SF flash and the SF patch on the right sleeve and 101 st of the left. Probably silly but it ruined the movie for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeze it and hit the Print Screen button on your keyboard. Then open a paint program and paste it in..... Crop the picture to remove the windows in the image.... -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share #48 Posted June 3, 2012 Here's a blast from the past a movie that I last seen on T.V. what ? in 1973, it's called THUNDERBIRDS, a 1952 movie about an Oklahoma 45th Infantry Division Infantry Company from the day of Federalization to VE Day, I dont believe this is available in any format, VHS or DVD, it's just one of the movies lost to time. Here are two actors that were in it, John Derek and Slim Pickins, on Pickens we see a glimpse of the 45th Division patch. in the movie in the very begining of the movie I remember they talk about and show the old Swastika 45th Division patch.

patches Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share #49 Posted June 3, 2012 8th Army. This one as we see is from MASH, one of the very,very,very few times an actual unit shoulder patch was worn or seen. among others I seen was I Corps, the 1st Cavalry Division ( remember ? it was worn by the that Tank Colonel in that one episode where he has the clap and wants treatment, which in exchange for help he leaves a Sherman tank to scare off some North Korean snipers that are operating in the area) and in one episode the 2nd Infantry Division is seen being worn by French troops that are brought in for aid.

patches Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share #50 Posted June 3, 2012 The Ryukyus Command or as it was later known from 1965 on, as the Okinawa Base Command, Now in this 1956 movie, The Teahouse of August moon, since the weather is hot and the men are wearing khakis, the story then is presumably one thats taken place in the spring or summer of 1946, the problem with the patches being that this one worn by Glenn Ford did not come out till early 1950, and the one worn by Captain Mc Lean played by Eddie Albert, the 10th Army, was no longer active by the summer of 1946, it was inactivated in October 1945. Lets have some fun, what shoulder patch should they have been wearing ? Ocean Areas, the Western Pacific, Mac Arthurs GHQ, the first Ryukyus Command would be the one maybe ? what do you all think ?
