Brian Keith Posted February 17, 2018 Share #1 Posted February 17, 2018 I recently picked up a uniform with this repaired CIB. I thought it was an interesting period done repair. They stand quite proud from the uniform. I think the ribbons are British Made. Thanks for looking. BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL THE PATCH Posted February 17, 2018 Share #2 Posted February 17, 2018 Unique, what's patches are on the Ike? Sent from my XT1031 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Keith Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted February 17, 2018 1st Infantry Division, might be British Made also. Not typical US construction. Oddly, it carries Signal Corps collar disks. It has either been "messed with", soldier was reclassified from Infantry to Signal, or somehow, he was awarded the CIB. I know at least one Cavalry regiment was awarded the CIB in Burma. I wonder if any of the non-infantry guys that were thrown into the line during the Battle of the Bulge were awarded the CIB. The uniform doesn't have a direct ID, several laundry numbers in the shirt and trousers that came with it. Thanks for your comments. BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted February 17, 2018 Share #4 Posted February 17, 2018 Being wounded he may have been assigned to a different unit(Signals) if not fully fit for combat? I have a radio guys FSSF group and he was awarded the CIBIts on his discharge I recall.When he ended up in the 474th he wore signal collar brass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL THE PATCH Posted February 17, 2018 Share #5 Posted February 17, 2018 Patch does look Brit made. Is it possible to see the whole Ike, your teasing. Sent from my XT1031 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Keith Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted February 17, 2018 Excellent thought Doyler! Good possibility since the ribbon indicates two Purple Hearts. Bill, no, I'm not teasing about the uniform, this post was actually about the CIB. I'll post the whole thing in the uniforms section. Thanks! BKW But, just for you!
