First Team Posted November 8, 2013 Share #1 Posted November 8, 2013 Picked these up last year as part of a grouping. The grouping originated from a member of the 11th AB Division Occupied Japan. What I have been able to learn is that the 711th was a short lived unit assigned to the 11th AB maybe 3 - 4 years before returning to US for deactivation. I have never seen these particular patches in all my years of collecting. Hoping that some of the knowledgeable Forum members could provide any additional info. If nothing else I wanted to share these beauties with the Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Team Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted November 9, 2013 Matt.....yes, there were many items (ovals, cap patches etc.) in the grouping some of which were duplicates and some of which I decided to let go to auction. I believe I have some more scans of what I kept. I'll post them on a New Topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
