patches Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share #29 Posted December 29, 2017 Ah yes, Col Harry S. Truman when he was CO of the 379th Field Artillery Regiment 102nd Division, too bad we can't see if Harry is wearing an Ozark Division patch, Truman was in the NG pre and during WWI, but switches for whatever reason to the Reserves post WWI.

seanmc1114 Posted April 4, 2018 Share #42 Posted April 4, 2018 This may actually be from 1940, but it's a great shot of some salty NCO's of the 7th Infantry Regiment with lots of service under their belts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanmc1114 Posted April 4, 2018 Share #43 Posted April 4, 2018 Col. Earle L. Lewis served as the commander of the 109th Engineer Regiment from its founding in 1923 until his death on 17 September 1941. Col. Lewis suffered a fatal stroke during the famed Louisiana Maneuvers, the series of war games that tested the organizational structure and fighting capabilities of National Guard and regular Army units prior to their World War II deployment, mostly to the European theater. COL Lewis joined the South Dakota National Guard in 1903 and saw duty along the Mexican border and in Europe during World War I. The 109th was first established as a battalion of engineers in 1921, with then Maj. Lewis in command. By 1923 the Army authorized expansion of the 109th to a full regiment.

patches Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share #44 Posted April 9, 2018 A gem of a Find, the Great Marty Maher of West Point in the late 1920s wearing the United States Military Academy DI's in the original spot behind the collar discs. by the light color of the shield it may be Yellow, though the photo development as in those days might be playing havoc with us again as we've seen in the past, and the color may be Blue or Black.

patches Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share #46 Posted April 20, 2018 This a still from a 1927 film called Rookies, we see a DI behind the discs as was worn in the very beginning, even on the old choaker collar coats before the new M1926's came out. Believe this is a 3rd Division patch seen on these guys, but very hard to make out, as is the DI which we clearly see, perhaps a 38th Infantry??? or perhaps one entirely not associated with the 3rd Division???. In any event a great period view of the way these were worn in the beginning in the mid 1920s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share #50 Posted April 30, 2018 A Soldier of the 20th Infantry, 2nd Division late 20s, 20th Infantry assigned to the 2nd Division, 18 Sept 1920- 16 Oct 1939, there's the badge worn above the flap this time . It's interesting to note that he's not wearing French Rope, the 20th Infantry was not in the Indianhead Division in the World War, so they just didn't wear one, nor does the one in post #33 the 1st Infantry, 2nd Division soldier posted by seanmc1114, again a regiment not with the division, and just assigned at random in the 1920s post WW period.
