patches Posted September 20, 2022 Share #1 Posted September 20, 2022 This is as you'll guess a Screen Catch from the movie The Sand Pebbles, Holman boards the boat's "Motorpan" after the terrible incident in town (Finds his shipmate and buddy Frenchie died from sickness, gets beaten up by Reds, and Frenchie's wife gets murdered by the Reds). This White Flag with what looks like Blue cloverleaf type devices, like the Army's 88th Infantry Division Shoulder Patch, is this a real Navy Flag, never seen it before???
