This came with corporal stripes and an OD border 43rd ID patch.

 

Spells Cheyennes

 

Any thoughts on what unit it represents?

 

Thanks in advance,

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.

My best WAG is that it is for the 300th FA. It was a Wyomming NG unit.

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.

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.

Here is the reverse. The white glows front and back. Where do you think this was made? Thanks in advance,
