Wharfmaster Posted May 22, 2019 Share #253 Posted May 22, 2019 Anyone remember Ed "Big Daddy" Roth and his unique style of artwork? Yep. Purchased one of his custom sweatshirts when I was a kid. Wish I still had it. Wharf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted August 21, 2019 Share #255 Posted August 21, 2019 4th Service Command on the gas tank of this 4th Service Command Motorcycle, the MP as we see is a Pacfic Combat Infantryman Vet with the Silver Star, the Purple Heart we see as well, so a wounded vet back stateside and now an MP, photo maybe from the summer of 1944 as we're not seeing a WWII Victory medal Or in the early summer of 1945 before the medal came out.

(Photo from member Bolo). I would assume this soldier was part of the 25th or 43rd Infantry division, they would be the only units to have 3 stars on the Asiatic Pacific without Philippines.

seanmc1114 Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share #257 Posted September 25, 2019 I'm not sure what this sign is or what it represents, but I would guess it is located at the headquarters of some joint activity in either Iraq or Afghanistan. The SSI or crest are (Top left to right): unknown, 2nd Medical Brigade, Puerto Rico National Guard, Florida National Guard, 218th Infantry Brigade/Maneuver Enhancement Brigade; (Bottom left to right): U.S. Navy, 92nd Infantry Brigade, 35th Infantry Division, 38th Infantry Division, Individual Ready Reserve. Any ideas what the crest/SSI in the upper left hand corner is? It may be British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted February 7, 2020 Share #265 Posted February 7, 2020 The use of the Screaming Eagles patch was not as we see restricted only to the division's helicopters, here we see it on the M113 APC of the division's recon unit, the 2nd Squadron 17th Cavalry in April 1968, B Troop. At this time the squadron was strictly a ground recon unit with ACPs and M48 Tanks, with it's only its D Troop being Air. A few months later the whole squadron was reorganized as redesignated as an Air Cavalry Squadron, ths done to support the division's new airmobile capability, the ground recon troop now being D Troop.
