trenchbuff Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share #102 Posted February 21, 2011 Great additions Ron! I really like your Intermediate Service of Supply Uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel griffin Posted February 21, 2011 Share #103 Posted February 21, 2011 Nice!!! :thumbsup: I've always wondered what those blue and red coloured centres (bottom row, first and second from left) meant; does anyone know? Rogier I have always assumed that the center colors were branch of service colors ,blue for infantry and red for artillery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted February 21, 2011 Share #104 Posted February 21, 2011 Great additions Ron! I really like your Intermediate Service of Supply Uniform. Thanks Mark The unniform came out of an estate buy in DesMoines Iowa. I have really been enjoying all of the patch posts of yours and other members.Great study guide too.The 2nd division variations are outstanding.The painted indians are a favorite and I can see similairities in the painting styles.I have a 2nd uniform from a local veteran and the painted indian is a match to a couple shown.

rvandehoef Posted February 21, 2011 Share #106 Posted February 21, 2011 I have always assumed that the center colors were branch of service colors ,blue for infantry and red for artillery. Daniel, That's what I assumed too, but I've never found any "official" confirmation therefore. I do have an ID'd 13th Field Artillery Uniform with a (faded) red centre, so that seems to correspond with (y)our assumption. Rogier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenchbuff Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share #115 Posted February 24, 2011 You know what is sad? In 30 years of patch collecting, I have yet to have a single original WWI patch in my collection.... It must be me.... :ermm: -Ski Ski, WW1 is kind of a forgotten war. Part of the reason, as most of us know, is that WW2 provided so much history and material. Not to mention so many heroes. Hollywood also probably played a big role in pushing WW1 out of public view. Couple good "Band of Brother" style movies on WWI would do a lot in attracting younger collectors. There's a fairly new book out by a fellow named Edward Lengel called "To Conquer Hell". It's about the Meuse-Argonne and does a terrific job describing the hell our American Doughboys went through. It's unbelieavable what those guys accomplished under the conditions they fought. If you get a chance, read this book, and then, well...you'll start collecting WWI patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
