With the red color of the patch the veteran was more than likely in a Parachute Field Artillery unit. Nice find.

Indeed a very nice M41 in great condition and an excellent pick up.  Like Doyler said, the red patch shows he was probably AB artillery as I have seen the same patch in blue for infantry as well.

Thanks, not hope to track him down with his Army number.

Here is a jacket with the same patch from the D-Day experience museum in Carentan. Saw the jacket in this post, then the jacket in the museum later. Here is the placard that goes with the jacket for more info.
