jdb Posted December 6, 2011 Share #1 Posted December 6, 2011 I found this patch in a box of my great uncle's world war 2 items. He served in in Europe from D-day on. Was wondering if anyone could help me identify this patch? Hopefully I can figure out how to add the photos Thanks, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early design of this patch had the polar bear with head down which is the one worn by US First Marine Brigade in Iceland... they are often confused.

jdb Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted December 6, 2011 Thanks for the info. He had many different things from different countries in this box. This was one thing I was not sure of, as he was in the army and not marines, and he was never in Iceland. Hard to say where he picked it up.
