Trinity Posted April 26, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 26, 2019 Can anybody identify this WW2 patch? I did a quick search across the U.S. WW2 patches listed on eBay and could not find another. It has the number 17, two die totaling 7 and the 8 ball. Maybe something associated with the number 1778? Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillock Posted April 26, 2019 Share #5 Posted April 26, 2019 Here is an original screen printed on cut out M43 field jacket shell. This was most likely done either on Okinawa Aug 45 or Korea June 1946. In 1778, Congress added Engineer troops organized into three companies of sappers and miners. https://www.usace.army.mil/About/History/Historical-Vignettes/Holidays-Observances/015-Establishment-of-USACE/ Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
