Armygrandaughter Posted January 27, 2020 Share #1 Posted January 27, 2020 Can anybody identify the patch on this soldiers sleeve please? The only thing I know about this man is he may have been in Hawaii and Germany at one time and his name is John Wm Busel? I think. Any thing you could tell me would be appreciated. Thank you. Sorry about the quality its a pic of a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Dentino Posted January 27, 2020 Share #4 Posted January 27, 2020 Yep, 24th Infantry Division for sure. Nicknamed the "Electric Strawberry" during the 60's (Vietnam era) and is still around today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armygrandaughter Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted January 27, 2020 Thank you guys! I was thinking that this was a "friend" of my grandmothers before she met my grandfather. And she worked over in Japan as a civilian during the occupation so you are probably right about him spending time in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
