patches Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share #135 Posted October 15, 2014 We see an interesting crest here, I guess it can be considered a PTC, as it is one that has as it's main design the shoulder patch of a Division, but is patently different from the shoulder patch. Here is Colonel James H. Skelton Chief of Staff 24th Infantry Division 1958-59. He's wearing this. In the book this photo of Skelton comes from, 98% of the portraits and Staff Section Group photos of the Divisional Staff are wearing this shield type 24th Division crest Interesting as there was a shoulder patch that was posted that is similar in shape to this crest, like the WWII era Hawaiian Cadres patch, but with VICTORY instead of HAWAIIAN attached tab. I said it was Japanese made, maybe then it was West German? Or looking at now on the topic below now, it may have been originally a Hawaiian Cadre patch that had it's HAWAIIAN tab cut off and a VICTORY tab somehow embroidered on.

(note Ruptured Duck still being issued for wear, and the 4 pocket) This guy has quite a story, U.S. Merchant Marines (late WWII), U.S.Army Air ForceF (Post WWII), U.S.Marine Corps Reserve (Combat Korean War,1st Marines, 1st Marine Division), back to the Army, this time Army Reserve (1955-1966 and then the Navy (1966-1985, I think Navy Reserve. http://koreanwar-educator.org/memoirs/johnson_corky/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share #141 Posted January 7, 2015 Oh yeah atb, thanks for the info. It's an interesting one to be sure, a DI based on an early aircraft marking, and it shows up even after the war as seen in post #89 Curious to see if a PTC crest was ever made and worn based on this two AC patches.

patches Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share #145 Posted March 21, 2015 The 76th Inf Div, or more precisely for the date this photo was taken, sometime in 1981, the 76th Training Division. (photo from the rear cover of the Soldiers Magazine issue of January 1982) Interesting, apparently the 76th Trng Div, never had a Non Color Bearing Unit insignia adopted for it, these started to come out starting in the mid 60s for these higher command elements, not sure if it had one in the late-sh 60s, then reverted back in 1977, and it just retained the divisional insignia in metal form. http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Catalog/HeraldryMulti.aspx?CategoryId=8819&grp=2&menu=Uniformed%20Services Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanmc1114 Posted April 8, 2015 Share #146 Posted April 8, 2015 Artillery officers of the 2nd Battalion 138th Field Artillery of the Kentucky National Guard wearing subdued XXIC Corps SSI in Vietnam - January 1969. Note the officer on the right is wearing some kind of full color XXIV Corps PTC on his helmet band. Also note the officer on the left is wearing the old style Artillery branch insignia after it was changed over to only crossed cannons the previous year.

firefighter Posted April 8, 2015 Share #147 Posted April 8, 2015 Nice pic.The XXIV Corps look local made? The LtCol is wear ADA.I thought those were still issued in the 60's.FA is just the crossed cannons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this topic will explain this all nicely FF. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/160885-2nd-lt-artillery-shirt-early-vietnam-era/ Need however amend to add one particular to one of the quotes. This being that in the late 50s through the 60s, Ft Sill was the AIT site for Artillery Trainees who were to be trained in Ground to Ground Missiles, like the Honest John, Pershing, Sergeant, Air To Air, like the Nike series', the Hawk, the Vulcan, the AA Auto Weapons.....Bliss.

There was no ADA branch from 1957 to late 1968, there was only one branch, ARTILLERY, it combind the two functions in one super branch, the insignia of this new super branch was the traditional Crossed Cannons of the Field Artillery, with the Missle, the newer weapon of the Artillery superimposed at the axis of the cannons.
