nirvana Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 This is a really odd one, a QMUTC Guidon, for the Quartermaster Unit Training Center. This unit was based in Boston in 1960, and from what I can tell the title of the unit pretty much sums it up, they trained QM troops. This flag is interesting in that its a real army guidon, but the letters are installed in a weird way. Rather than being pieces of fabric that are sewn on, this actually has a weird embroidered chainstitch design. I've never seen one like it before, and given that its for a QM unit, I'm a bit surprised that such a crappy job was done. Never seen another like it. I like guidon flags. They're my bag, baby.

Major Z Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 That's a really interesting guidon. Thanks for sharing it. WANTED: I collect materials of any age related to the US Army Quartermaster Corps and from the long-defunct Commissary / Subsistence Corps. Anything goes and it doesn't have to be identified to a vet. If it's weird or unusual, please PM me! ASMIC #5650 Link to post Share on other sites

I found nearly nothing on google, and I can't really figure out when it existed, or when it was dissolved. I like guidon flags. They're my bag, baby. Link to post Share on other sites
Major Z Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I've never heard that acronym before, so I'm no help. I'll look into it in my reference books and see if I can find anything.
