ocsfollowme Posted July 19, 2017 Share #1 Posted July 19, 2017 This came with corporal stripes and an OD border 43rd ID patch. Spells Cheyennes Any thoughts on what unit it represents? Thanks in advance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easterneagle87 Posted July 19, 2017 Share #2 Posted July 19, 2017 I too saw this in an ebay grouping and was curious as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted July 19, 2017 Yea, for the price I thought why not. No photos of the back but it is probably KW time period. Image search, and a ton of keyword searches have brought up nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATCHRAT Posted July 19, 2017 Share #4 Posted July 19, 2017 I saw it last night as well and did tons of searches with no results. Hope it gets an ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted July 19, 2017 My best WAG is that it is for the 300th FA. It was a Wyomming NG unit. https://armyhistory.org/300th-field-artillery-wyarng/ On 23 January 1951, the 300th left for Korea aboard the USNS General M.C. Meigs. Upon arriving at Pusan on 15 February, the battalion was assigned to the Eighth Army and underwent further training. On 15 May, the 300th conducted its first fire mission against the enemy in support of the 2d Infantry Division around Soyang. In heavy fighting that lasted over a week, the 300th fought valiantly against an onslaught of twelve Chinese divisions. In one twenty-four period, A and C Batteries fired 7,200 rounds. For its actions around Soyang and Hongchon, the 300th earned its first Presidential Unit Citation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted July 20, 2017 Share #6 Posted July 20, 2017 I'd suspect it is for a 2nd ID recreational sports team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamski Posted July 20, 2017 Share #7 Posted July 20, 2017 I'd suspect it is for a 2nd ID recreational sports team. My gut feeling as well. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manchu Warrior Posted July 20, 2017 Share #8 Posted July 20, 2017 It could be a patch for those souvenir jackets they sell in the ROK. With that said those letters look to neat to have been sewn in Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
