patches Posted December 17, 2017 Share #3201 Posted December 17, 2017 Jimmy Cagney in London Feb 1944 with an Security Guard of the London Base Command, gee I wish he was wearing that London Base Command patch, but that wasn't worn at all right?

firefighter Posted December 18, 2017 Share #3204 Posted December 18, 2017 A Pre Airborne Tab 82nd Division patch sighting. y.jpg A soldier of the 326th Infantry circa March-August 1942, his name is Pfc. Adam Lucas and apparently switched to AAA as he's listed as in E Battery 80th Airborne Anti-Aircraft Battalion. Is that on OD boarder 82nd? If so I wonder if the OD's were suppose to have been worn without the a/b tab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually hadd to tell, my first impression was that it was a standard Red non OD border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanmc1114 Posted December 19, 2017 Share #3209 Posted December 19, 2017 Doglas MacArthur as a major general. Photos of MacArthur wearing any SSI are extremely rare. I believe he is wearing the patch of the Philippine Department here which he commanded from October 1928 to October 1930. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted December 21, 2017 Share #3212 Posted December 21, 2017 Albert Blithe, in the 1950s while assigned to the 82nd Abn Div. Blithe of course was in E Co 506th PIR in WWII, and his story in The Band of Brothers had him famously dying in the rather immediate post war period from wounds suffered in Normandy, how they managed to screw that one up is beyond me . More great stuff on Master Sergeant Al Blithe in the early 60s, who's reports of his death have been greatly exaggerated . http://old.506infantry.org/hiswwii/his2ndbnwwiimemo22.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanmc1114 Posted December 22, 2017 Share #3214 Posted December 22, 2017 The same Signal Corps NCO wearing the USA Armor Center SSI and tab and Infantry School SSI. I believe he was an Army photographer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanmc1114 Posted December 22, 2017 Share #3216 Posted December 22, 2017 Brigadier General George Columbus Barnhardt wearing the first style SSI approved for the Hawaiian Division in 1921 before being redesignated for the 24th Infantry Division during World War II. This would be sometime in the 1920s as the general died in 1930. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted December 24, 2017 Share #3218 Posted December 24, 2017 One more WWII Replacement School Command GI. He's affected an interesting way of crushing his cap, something not really seen in the ground forces, note too the wear of the obsolete marksmanship badge, wonder why he's wearing it, as he's a recently trained recruit circa 1944.

patches Posted December 28, 2017 Share #3219 Posted December 28, 2017 Another full color Cav patch in combat sighting, this time on a Kit Carson, circa 1969, curious as he wears staff sergeant rank inked on the helmet cover, no explanation for that one, certainly don't think he was a E-6, in fact not sure if Kit Carson's were even given grades, you know not like the old Indian Scouts in the old west days.
