mysteriousoozlefinch Posted July 28, 2018 Share #233 Posted July 28, 2018 He is indeed. The article was on the 100th training with the 11th. It was supposed to go in the SSI thread as well but got missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysteriousoozlefinch Posted December 14, 2018 Share #243 Posted December 14, 2018 1981-1983. I can look for sure in a few hours and edit it in here. To conform with administrative guidance for the forum I didn't notice until signing out: All of these images come from Army Reserve Magazine, issues from 1979 to 1984 in this batch. The magazine did not typically cite photographers in their captions, presumably they were Army Reserve themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted January 23, 2019 Share #247 Posted January 23, 2019 A Twofer from the 2nd Inf Div at Ft Benning Georgia 1961. The first up is this gorgeous mosaic of the Indianhead Division patch in front of the divisional HQ building, of note too is the sign in the background on the wall, note too it has shoulder patches, shoulder patches of all the divisions that occupied the building in the past. Hard to see in the scan, but these will be the 2nd Armd Div, 12th Armd Div or 13th Armd Div?? (don't see when these two were at Benning), 71st Inf Div, 85th Inf Div, 4th Inf Div, 47th Inf Div, 3rd Inf Div, 10th Inf Div, and the then current 2nd Inf Div. And unit signage for the division, you will note that none of these infantry units are traditional to the Indianhead Division, these are those Pentomic CARS Battle Groups that were assigned willy nilly to divisions in the 57-63 period, most in any one division, not traditional to them.
