Captainofthe7th Posted May 28, 2010 Share #26 Posted May 28, 2010 Great thread! I will try to add some shortly...in the meantime, does anyone else agree that this is worth being pinned? I'm sure we'll accumulate plenty more images for a sizeable topic. Valuable reference indeed... First - Kiska task force. Love the chevrons in the helmet net, too. I may have even pulled this one off the forums here. I think at least one GI has the Kiska patch as a combat patch. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud Kraut Posted May 28, 2010 Share #37 Posted May 28, 2010 Nice thread, Ski! Recently I did a little research on the local German and Allied POW camps. Among others I found this picture online at the German Federal Archives.

Proud Kraut Posted May 28, 2010 Share #39 Posted May 28, 2010 Picture from the Berlin Airlift. Seems that the guy in the center has a Labrador NE Canada Cmd patch on his right sleeve. Unfortunately I can't identify the patch on his left sleeve. Anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teamski Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share #49 Posted May 29, 2010 Gregg let me add the picture of his uncle to this thread. A good example of using snaps to attach a patch to the uniform to facilitate easy removal for laundering. Great photo, hey? Thanks Gregg! -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
