seanmc1114 Posted July 6, 2020 Share #4608 Posted July 6, 2020 Col. Charles H. Reed commanded the 2nd Cavalry Group in the European Theater during World War II. Here we see him wearing the SSI of the Group while receiving an award from a French general. The second photo shows him wearing the 2nd Cav SSI as a combat patch followed by a picture of what I believe is the same uniform. The 2nd Cav patch appears to be bullion and is virtually the same SSI that was later approved in the 60's for the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment.

Note that his branch insignia is sew on. The 299th Infantry was a Regimental Combat Team back then, so once again we see no RCT patch worn when this RCT had one for it. The other Hawaiian Regiment was also a RCT, no real info on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shoulder sleeve insignia was originally approved for Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, Hawaii National Guard on 14 March 1949. Kamehameha I, in red feathered helmet, was the first ruler of a united Hawaii after conquering most of the Hawaiian Islands by 1810. Here's an identified helmet liner with decal and web gear from from my collection which belonged to an officer attached to the HANG HQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
