I found this in an antique store today, and am intrigued by the traces of a circular patch on the front of the cap. I understand airborne officers had a circular patch in this spot. Were there any other units that had them also? The inside is named Collins and I believe 0-114294 on one side, and L.C. on the other. Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

The service number (0-114204) comes back to Lawrence (nmi) Collins who is shown to have been an officer in the Field Artillery.

Airborne Officers would have normally worn the glider/parachute circular patch on the opposite side of the garrison cap and the individuals rank would have been where the ghost of the circular patch is..
