What's that odd colored Screaming Eagles patch there on the wall with the rest of them?

Thank You, here's the subdued version, see how it incoporates the traditional TAC marks of the Infantry of the division.

Although worn and shown at various times with an Airborne tab, the tab was never authorized to be worn with the patch.

I also now notice that this patch has a curved top, not like the familiar 101 patch.

 

 

On the tab, was this when the patch first came out? Because I found this photo of it's Flag, and it has the AIRBORNE tab, plus there's the signage on the wall with tab.

Ha! My bad, Patches. Then the last SSI post I did is probably a repost too.

Hopefully this isn't a prior post. 39th ID SSI from McNeese State University archives.

No it's a first time posting, and a great one it is at that, but generally these go in the Marked Liner topic up in Helmets. While it doesn't state it up front in the 1st post, the trend here in this topic basically established itself on the posting of photos of patches on signage, unit documents, stationary, etc etc, post/base walls and barracks walls and doors, vehicles etc etc.

 

That reminds me, got a photo of marked liners from Alaska that I need to post up there.

This was in an album I acquired recently. Ladd Field gate sign in the early 50s. One of the funnier looking polar bear patch depictions I have seen. He looks like he needs some PT.

Now here has to be among the earliest depiction of a divisional shoulder patch on a sports vest. 90th Division, probbly an applique application of some unknown red cloth, Taken in Germany when the T&O Division was on occupation duty. This fella here puts on a picklehaube as a goof as well.

The 7th Armored Division Band Camp Roberts Calif 1953, just love those bass drums with the divisional shoulder patch on them. 7th Armd Div was a training division at this time.

2nd Army patch on the right, 306th Cavalry on the left of the helmet. By 1955 when this photo was taken at Camp Polk, the 306th was the 306th Armored Cavalry Group, an Organized Reserve unit out of Maryland and DC.
