Keith Posted September 3, 2019 Share #2 Posted September 3, 2019 Well, the "V" is for Victory. I am not sure of the use. I think it may be a Home Front movement since I had a pair of Salt and Pepper shakers with the Victory "V:" on them. Here is a good read on the V for Victory campaign: https://postalmuseum.si.edu/Symposium2008/DeBlois-Harris-V_for_Victory-paper.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlight Gecko Posted September 3, 2019 Share #3 Posted September 3, 2019 The patch is for the "Victory Task Force" http://www.vetshome.com/military_army_forces_patches_history_2.htm description from this website I found on it online: Worn from: 22 June 1942 - 20 February 1947. This patch was created for personnel assigned to the Army War Show, a fund raiser that used live weapons and ammunition to demonstrate the military might of the United States Army. The design uses the letter "V" for "Victory" and the Morse code symbol for "V" (dot, dot, dot, dash). Apparently the color red had no other significance than to attract attention.
