Rakkasan187 Posted September 1, 2017 Share #5 Posted September 1, 2017 In World War 2, the Third Cavalry was redesignated the Third Cavalry Group (Mechanized). The Third Cavalry Group landed in France in August 1944 and was the Spearhead of the XX (20th Army Corps). The 3rd Cavalry Group was part of the Third Army. After WW2 it was renamed the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment.. Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rakkasan187 Posted September 1, 2017 Share #7 Posted September 1, 2017 I believe they would have worn the 3rd Army patch, but I am not 100% certain Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
