InfantryCollector Posted April 19, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 19, 2017 Hello, I have been collecting WWII German Militaria for over 20 years and have been member of the Wehrmacht-Awards Forum (InfanterieSammler) since 2001. Only recently, I've decided to take the plunge into collecting WWII US militaria. I am very excited to join this forum to learn the members and contribute when I can.

Backtheattack Posted April 20, 2017 Share #3 Posted April 20, 2017 Hello John, welcome to the forum. With your new interest you can show off both sides of war in the ETO. What`s the reason for the 26th division patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfantryCollector Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted April 20, 2017 Thank you guys. My goal is have a more balanced "Western Front" collection. Having both sides represented will, I feel, tell a more complete story of the conflict. The 26th "Yankee Division" patch, is a nod to my home state of Massachusetts. It is also, the unit of my first Ike tunic! Best Regards, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backtheattack Posted April 21, 2017 Share #5 Posted April 21, 2017 Hello John! Have two uniforms from a vet, he started with the 26th, then he was in the 83rd during the war, and after the war again in the 26th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
