52m37 Posted April 7, 2016 Share #1 Posted April 7, 2016 I obtained this patch many years ago. It was labeled as being for the 1st Infantry, I assume this is 1st ID. However I have been unable to clearly identify this was actually a 1st ID patch. Who wore it? Any help in identifying this patch will be appreciated.

Longhorn92 Posted April 7, 2016 Share #3 Posted April 7, 2016 There's been a thread on this patch before. But I can't recall the ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintageproductions Posted April 7, 2016 Share #4 Posted April 7, 2016 I think it is in one of Cecil Smyth's US patches in Vietnam books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

52m37 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted April 11, 2016 I have seen this in a reference book.I will have to take a look. I only have one of Smyth's books and I did not see it in there. Did you have any luck finding it in one of your book. The info so far leads to it being 1st ID, but I would like some more info to support it.

tredhed2 Posted April 11, 2016 Share #7 Posted April 11, 2016 The 2nd Bn,16th Inf referred to themselves as Rangers during VN. They had a FB (?) named Camp Ranger, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
