viking73 Posted June 20, 2017 Share #1 Posted June 20, 2017 Hi, I just picked this patch up today at a Dallas-Fort Worth area antique store. Can anyone tell me more about this patch please? What does the "Second Division" mean? It looks Asian made? Thanks in advance! -Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearmon Posted June 21, 2017 Share #3 Posted June 21, 2017 2nd division was one of the Deck divisions, which also came with responsibility for manning one of the guns, usually as an ammo handler, not sure which gun the 2nd division was responsible for on the Jersey.

viking73 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted June 22, 2017 Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. One last question - so this patch isn't really official? It would have been used on an unofficial "cruise jacket" maybe? -Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearmon Posted June 22, 2017 Share #6 Posted June 22, 2017 cruise jacket or a deck jacket, some commands allowed patches on deck jackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
