His collar branch insignia appears to have the number "96" on it. You know Sean looking at this a few times, long view and close up, makes believe it is a 30 there, that is an officers crossed rifles for the division's 30th Infantry.

seanmc1114 Posted May 24, 2021 Share #5056 Posted May 24, 2021 I believe this large soldier is wearing the SSI of the 1st Regiment of the Pennsylvania State Guard during or right after World War II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted May 25, 2021 Share #5058 Posted May 25, 2021 A Big Red One GI Ardennes, that Big Red One patch looks kind of odd, kind of non standard, a field made one??? See how the 1 is not only off center, but real slender, and the shield is "Tall". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanmc1114 Posted May 25, 2021 Share #5060 Posted May 25, 2021 9th Service Command SSI worn at Camp Roberts during World War II. Check out the service stripes on the NCO's in the first picture and notice the NCO in the middle is wearing the Distinguished Service Cross, most likely from World War I.

seanmc1114 Posted May 25, 2021 Share #5061 Posted May 25, 2021 The first picture shows Major General Terry Allen, commander of the 104th Infantry Division, wearing a white bordered SSI after the division's return from Europe in 1945. Also note his narrow leadership tabs. The second picture shows soldiers of the 104th wearing the standard issue SSI. Both were taken at Camp Roberts, California.

Bet that's a Bullion Timberwolf patch Allen's got on, maybe German made. most likely German. Something similar to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rd12 Posted June 14, 2021 Share #5070 Posted June 14, 2021 BG James Stallings. Photo probably from the mid-1960's when he was a COL and Deputy Commander of the 258th Infantry Brigade. The AZ National Guard kept the lineage of the 158th IN "Bushmasters". In 1967 the 258th Infantry Brigade(separate) became the 258th MP Brigade and the SSI was changed I believe.

Wow Stallings started out as an EM in the old 158th Infantry before the war, he was transferred out though after the division it was in, the 45th was federalized, winds up serving in the 102nd Inf Div in the ETO, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted June 15, 2021 Share #5072 Posted June 15, 2021 Full color RANGER Tab with subdued Infantry School worn by the cadre of the Ranger Department, Fort Benning Geogia in the summer of 1982, we gather this fashion was started when these people start to wear the ERDLs in the 70s, then the RDFs along with the ERDLs by the late 70s early 80s, this guy seems to be wearing the new BDUs no? Not sure who long the fashion was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanmc1114 Posted June 15, 2021 Share #5075 Posted June 15, 2021 Sorry it's not clearer, but I believe this is a first style Sixth Army SSI worn by a member of the 158th Regimental Combat Team post-World War II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
