seanmc1114 Posted September 22, 2023 Share #6730 Posted September 22, 2023 Col. Colin J. Morrow, Commanding Officer, 91st Training Division. Notice like a photo I posted a few days ago, this officer is wearing a Special Forces combat service identification badge on his right breast pocket, which as far as I can tell is only authorized on the blue uniform. It's impossible to tell if he's also wearing a Special Forces combat patch on his right sleeve. The second photo of Col. Morrow shows him wearing a Special Forces combat patch on his ACU.

mysteriousoozlefinch Posted September 26, 2023 Share #6733 Posted September 26, 2023 Recent acquisition at a local book store. Seems to be a victory parade somewhere in Ohio, judging by the shoulder patches. Lot of 37th Division, several 3rd Army, an 83rd Division, and I think a 56th Engineers?

New Guinea right, but that March 1944 date might be in error as both the 11th Abn Div and the 4th Eng Spec Bde arrived in May of 44. The correct info of the Engineer is he will be Brigadier-General Henry Jr. Hutchings Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanmc1114 Posted October 11, 2023 Share #6741 Posted October 11, 2023 Military Assistance Command Vietnam novelty patch worn by a member of the 388th Transportation Company. I assume this is some sort of novelty uniform, but it does have rank insignia. Unlike the examples in the third photo, the patch on the uniform also has a tab or attached wording at the top.

Relatively unusual to see any SSI on that field coat. None of the other officers seem to be wearing an SSI. I've got my dad's field coat from the 1950s, and there are no stitch marks to indicate there was a patch worn on either sleeve. Same for the officers' taupe overcoat worn in the 1950s or the (later) officers' green overcoat worn in the 1960s/1970s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also note that this is from a period when senior officers still wore their Service Dress uniform, with visor cap and tie, when inspecting units in the field. I recall that my dad would wear his Service Dress uniform not only in his office, but when he went to inspect the motor pool or the arms room -- taking off his Pinks & Greens blouse, slipping on a pair of coveralls while conducting the inspection, and then washing his hands and putting the blouse back on.

seanmc1114 Posted October 17, 2023 Share #6745 Posted October 17, 2023 In the first photo, Lt. Col. Reuben H. Tucker, CO of the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, is being promoted to Colonel by fellow 82nd Airborne Division regimental commanders James M. Gavin of the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment and Harry L. Lewis of the 325th Glider Infantry Regiment, in North Africa on May 29, 1943. In the second photo, Col. Tucker is being congratulated by 82nd AIrborne Division commander Major General Matthew B. Ridgway. Note that Col. Tucker is wearing an 82nd SSI without an AIRBORNE tab, while Col. Lewis does have an AIRBORNE tab. Col. Tucker was just 32 years old and Col. Gavin was 36 when these pictures were taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
