atb Posted August 3, 2018 Share #3578 Posted August 3, 2018 Agree, but he'd have a bronze oak leaf cluster on the NDSM at that time. The Army switched to a star in the 1980s or 1990s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted August 4, 2018 Share #3581 Posted August 4, 2018 These two look like they went To Hell and Back, too bad we can't see their ribbons (though they might not be wearing any, some times old timers didn't for whatever reason). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysteriousoozlefinch Posted August 4, 2018 Share #3582 Posted August 4, 2018 Both First Sergeants were among the last WWII veterans serving in the Nebraska National Guard. Dale spent eighteen months in combat in Europe, Hank spent the war in the Aleutians. Hank had joined the Guard in 1939 in the same company he was currently serving with in Hastings, NE.

seanmc1114 Posted August 8, 2018 Share #3589 Posted August 8, 2018 Ryukyus Command SSI worn by an infantry lieutenant on Okinawa around 1952/1953. His branch insignia is numbered. I can't make it out when I zoom in, but I would assume it is for the 29th Regimental Combat Team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted August 9, 2018 Share #3590 Posted August 9, 2018 Searched to see if this one has been posted yet, didn't see it, so lets post it now. Ike wearing the Allied Forces patch photo was taken I think in England late 43 early 44, just after he arrived from the Mediterranean theater) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His collar insignia is numbered 29. 29th Infantry, as a Regimental Combat Team was destroyed in July 1950, it was not inactivated, survivors mostly assigned directly to the other two regiments of the 24th Inf Div, and rebuilt back on Okinawa in September, my question is, after a spell didn't this unit on Okinawa wear the Far East patch?

The SSI can be seen worn on the right sleeve in two of the pictures and the left sleeve in one, but it's hard to tell if it's worn on both sleeves at the same time.
