doyler Posted February 11, 2008 Share #402 Posted February 11, 2008 I agree a second award CIB most likely showing service in WW2 Then Korea.German or English made pin back.I say this as the Japanese made badges of the period are of a thinner material.

carl1944 Posted February 17, 2008 Share #403 Posted February 17, 2008 Hi all, since the CIB thread has few exaples of the CMB, I would like to see some variants! Feel free to post them here Best regards Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VMI88 Posted February 17, 2008 Share #405 Posted February 17, 2008 I have also been told these clutches are English. If memory serves, those clutches were used briefly during the 1950's. ASMIC did an article on how to date clutches several years ago, and I remember these because I've run across them before, mostly on ribbons. I've personally never seen them on a WWII-vintage uniform, but I'm not saying it's impossible. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhbooker2 Posted February 29, 2008 Share #408 Posted February 29, 2008 ALSO RECEIVED THIS IN A RECENT TRADE. TIME FRAME 60'S-70'S? 36-TEX: In 1959 I saw qualified parachutists who served earlier in World War Two and the Korean War wearing these on their sateen green fatigure shirts over the black silk tape with gold letters "U.S.ARMY" over the left pocket. Sarge Booker of Tujunga, California ( [email protected] ) The tape over the right pocket was white with black letters for the surname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robersabel Posted April 2, 2008 Share #412 Posted April 2, 2008 I was contacted by the daughter of a former member (deceased) of the 707th Tank Battalion fought in the Battle of the Bulge. According to documents he did not have an infantryman's MOS, but served as an infantryman, and was in battle with the enemy before taken prisoner. According to Circulars , dated 1943, 1944 combat members of the military were not required an infantryman's MOS to be eligible . Members of the 192nd and 194th Tank Battalions fought in the Battle of the Philippines were awarded the CIB. In the ETO during WWII members of the 7th Armored Division were awarded the CIB. I met a gentleman assigned to the 106th ID with MOS 152 photographer awarded the CIB that authomaticallye entitles the BSM. As stated in the Purple Heart thread, I believe the only way to enforce the guidelines that apply to WWII veterans is to hire a lawyer. The photograph provided reveals a tanker with triangle armor pins on his lapel with the CIB on his chest. Records show he was always assigned to a tank unit.

Jürg Posted April 9, 2008 Share #417 Posted April 9, 2008 Hi there Can someone tell me what type of the combat medic badge, WWII issue, have been made? I saw hollow back types as well as the ones with a flat backside. Thanks for your any information Jürg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill in VA Posted April 9, 2008 Share #418 Posted April 9, 2008 Hi there Can someone tell me what type of the combat medic badge, WWII issue, have been made? I saw hollow back types as well as the ones with a flat backside. Thanks for your any information Jürg I've never seen any hollow-backed ones (not that I'm disputing you)...all the one's I've seen were flat backed, and most have been clutch-back rather than pin-backs. As for "WWII-issue" keep in mind that the badge wasn't instituted until almost the very end of the European phase of the war so I'd imagine it was most likely seen on the uniforms of returning soldiers once they were stateside. Not that it necessarily helps to answer your question, but here's a few links you may find interesting: http://www.army.mil/symbols/combatbadges/medical.html http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/badges/C...dicalBadges.htm http://www.1stcavmedic.com/cmb.html http://www.americal.org/awards/cmb.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB K. RKSS Posted April 9, 2008 Share #419 Posted April 9, 2008 I too, have never seen a "hollow back" on this type badge, but I have seen WWII solid back "sterling" with Long hinged Pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl1944 Posted April 9, 2008 Share #421 Posted April 9, 2008 Here's one of mine. It is a hollowback, with pin. I have seen several of these besides the STERLING marked flat backs. Some hollowbacks were marked STERLING, some were not. Best, Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyligter Posted April 18, 2008 Share #424 Posted April 18, 2008 I recently bought an Ike jacket with this combat infantry badge. But I've never seen one like this before. Possibly theater made?
