atb Posted April 20, 2023 Share #405 Posted April 20, 2023 A silly question, but is an authorized and approved DUI that is in the form of the unit SSI (for example, 82d ABN DIV, HQ AAC, 3d INF DIV, Hawaiian DIV, 1st thru 3d ARM DIV, 76th DIV) considered a PTC? This is in contrast to all those SSI souvenir pins worn as DUIs by soldiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say yes, in that it is a crest of the unit shoulder patch., but then the Patch Type Crest term is a collector term is it not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from the descriptions accompanying these photos, these men seem to be identified as civillians and not military officers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanmc1114 Posted August 10, 2023 Share #419 Posted August 10, 2023 Sergeant and Mrs. Curtis Knight and their daughter attend the ceremony where his brother, Lieutenant Jack L. Knight, was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor posthumously. June 1945. Sergeant Knight is wearing the China-Burma-India Theater SSI and patch type crest on his cap. Also note the unusual pockets on his shirt. Lieutenant Knight was born in Garner, Texas and joined the Texas National Guard on 18 November 1940 along with his brother Curtis. Jack graduated from Cavalry OCS at Fort Riley, Kansas. He served as Commander of F Troop (His brother Curtis was the First Sergeant) in the 124th Cavalry Regiment, Mars Task Force. On 2 February 1945 near Loi Kang, Burma, Knight single-handedly destroyed two Japanese pillboxes. Despite being wounded, he led his rifle platoon in an attack on other enemy positions but was again wounded, this time fatally. For his heroic actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously four months later, on 25 June 1945. His regimental commander, Colonel William F. Osborne, veteran of Bataan and Merrill's Marauders, said of Jack Knight, "In more than four years of combat, I have seen many officers fight and die, but LT Knight's action in leading his troop to its objective against strong enemy concentrations is to me the finest example of courage, valor, and leadership of any officer I have ever commanded.
