Lancer-86 Posted August 26, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 26, 2020 Hello guys, This one is on its way to me, but I don’t recognize the specialty patch on the lower sleeve. Of course below the crow is an electricians mate, but what is the patch on the lower sleeve? Again, I don’t have this jumper in hand yet, but from what I see it is 1920’s or possibly earlier. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigsaye Posted August 27, 2020 Share #3 Posted August 27, 2020 Yes, Civil Engineer. IIRC, “Battalion 600”. This was a group that was established to build Naval infrastructure. They eventually went to France to build Naval Bases. Disestablished after the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wharfmaster Posted August 30, 2020 Share #6 Posted August 30, 2020 I have a period photo of a sailor with this insignia, somewhere. Didn't know about Battalion 600. Thanks ! W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
