Jeffro Posted September 2, 2011 Share #3 Posted September 2, 2011 2 Hello, I've seen this before and I think it's KW era. Usually the shovel has brown stuff on it and it's not dirt the marines were trying to depict. I don't have access to my computer photos right now, but from what I recall it's a novelty patch most likely unauthorized for wear. Jeffro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUBUSMC Posted September 2, 2011 Share #4 Posted September 2, 2011 Yes, a Korean Era Novelty patch. I have seen 2 to 3 variations of the same patch and they all have the same idea. Infact one that I have actually shows the crap on the shovel. I guess that is the whole idea behind the sentiment. - Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobgee Posted September 2, 2011 Share #5 Posted September 2, 2011 I recall these being around in the Corps, Very unauthorized, of course, in the mid-50s. I recall one with the riband stating "Simply Forgotus".........Semper Fi.......Bobgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
