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

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

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
