Sarge8 Posted April 1, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 1, 2019 I recently bought some items that belonged to a father/son estate. The father was in the CAC, WW1, 41st Art. The son served in WW2 in the Army as a "signal corpsman, lineman, and engine repairman" per obit. He then served in the Navy post WW2 up to about 1952 and served on the Hospital Ship Benevolence, which sank in 1950 off San Francisco after a collision. There are 6 of the these patches, 3" square with a twill background and some kind of plastic or glue back. Are they military? Could not find them in my Stein book. Thanks for any help.

Sarge8 Posted April 1, 2019 Author Share #2 Posted April 1, 2019 Look to me like they may belong on a set of white cover-alls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamarhooten Posted April 3, 2019 Share #3 Posted April 3, 2019 I would be very surprised if they have any military connection ! A civilian landscaping company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted April 3, 2019 Share #4 Posted April 3, 2019 It's likely a civilian patch, but in this business, never say never..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge8 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted April 4, 2019 Thanks for the comments. I will keep my eyes out, maybe something will turn up. Looking at the color scheme on your Engineering patch, it's almost the same colors as mine. Very interesting ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
