redone Posted June 28, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 28, 2020 What does the Red border on the 1st Marine Division SSI represent ? I thought I read somewhere that it was for being wounded. I have been unable to find any proof that the vet who this uniform belonged to was ever wounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warcollect1942 Posted July 29, 2020 Share #4 Posted July 29, 2020 There are two ways to manufacture a blooded patch. One is embroidered the other is sewn on red felt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
