Post Your WWI Collar Disk

Not mine, but here's a scarce one I was shown last week.  Currently residing in a county museum, but will perhaps be deaccessioned at some point.

Greetings!

 

Got a 146th Field Artillery collar disc to throw in here, currently housed at the Fort Walla Walla Museum in Washington state. The tunic is unidentified, however it does sport both a 41st Infantry Division and an artillery sergeant's patch:

Catalog number:

22.11

The curator nor myself have seen too many of these floating around and the Museum has several groupings from men of the 146th Field Artillery, all of which contain blank artillery collar discs or ones with just battery letters. Hope this is a noteworthy entry!

 

Best Regards,

That disc is not for the 146th Field Artillery. It is for the 146th Company of the Coast Artillery Corps. Field Artillery regimental numbers are above the crossed cannons, Coast Artillery company numbers are below crossed cannons. The cannons themselves are placed higher in the discs for Coast Artillery companies than for Field Artillery units.

abt,

 

Interesting, appreciate the information. I’m currently away from the rest of my photographs that I have on this tunic but I will be sure to share once I get home. 

 

The tunic itself, minus the collar disc, is a near identical match to another identified tunic at the museum belonging to a Sergeant in Battery E of the 146th, right down to the rank patches. With that in mind would there be a chance that a costal artillery disc was worn by a member of a field artillery regiment? Or is that an impossibility?

 

Best Regards,

No telling what the soldier might have done. It has "146" on it, so if he couldn't get a proper Field Artillery disc for the 146th FA Regiment, he could have thought the CA one was good enough.

My USAAS disc collection en totale. All are slightly different, however subtle. I’m always on the look for others to complete the Riker mount. Got 5 slots to fill…

Got another disc that I picked up recently. This one is from the items belonging to Private Eugene H. Gitz who served in 4th Platoon of Company M, 339th Inf. Regt.
 

The coat sports his initials, a WWI victory medal with Russia clasp, a USNA monogram disc and a post-war pattern “walking polar bear” patch on the left sleeve:
