Brian Dentino Posted April 28, 2009 Share #15 Posted April 28, 2009 An outstanding grouping for sure! I love the glider patch! What do you think, German occupation made? That would be my guess for one of his fancy parade uniforms? Very cool group............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker502 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share #17 Posted April 28, 2009 By the construction of the patch I think it's English made. It is kelly green back ground on the patch.. Thanks for the comments Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenm Posted April 28, 2009 Share #18 Posted April 28, 2009 Given the design, it should be a British-made patch, same as the branch-coloured fully-embroidered patches in the range. Never seen one like it, and have saved the pic for future reference with other Brit-made ones. Cheers, Glen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Barickman Posted April 28, 2009 Share #19 Posted April 28, 2009 I had one just like from the family of John Brown who also served with 101st MP platoon and was KIA in Normandy. They had a early style glider and parachute patch. Both yellow with green background. Kurt Barickman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
