wildcat123 Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted October 29, 2019 131st Ordnance Bomb Disposal Squadron? If I use my imagination I can make out 131 BD Squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake1941 Posted October 29, 2019 Share #6 Posted October 29, 2019 Could it be the 131st bombardment squadron ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat123 Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share #7 Posted October 29, 2019 Was there a 131st bomb squadron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wake1941 Posted October 29, 2019 Share #8 Posted October 29, 2019 I see one that was active later not totally sure. Most of the insignia like this Italian Made is usually AAC just a guess though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat123 Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share #9 Posted October 29, 2019 Im really leaning toward the Ordnance bomb disposal, I know the unit existed and was in Europe... gotta jump on Asmic website and do some digging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearmon Posted October 29, 2019 Share #10 Posted October 29, 2019 131st Ordnance Bomb Disposal Squadron? If I use my imagination I can make out 131 BD Squad[/quote plus one for the Bomb disposal. Same bomb shaped as the bomb disposal patch in the group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vzemke Posted October 29, 2019 Share #11 Posted October 29, 2019 Possibly 131st Bomb Disposal Squad. Just that and not short for squadron. "Bomb Disposal Squad" was an official unit title for a while, hence the term "bomb squad" https://goordnance.army.mil/history/articles/bomb.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted October 29, 2019 Share #12 Posted October 29, 2019 Would say it goes with the other Bomb Disposal patch...great piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefighter Posted October 31, 2019 Share #14 Posted October 31, 2019 I think it might actually be the 134th Ord Bomb Disp Squad? They have camping credits for Northern France & Rhineland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
