1947cj2 Posted June 23, 2010 Share #104 Posted June 23, 2010 Please overlook my very limited skills on the computer as I am in that post war boomer group and made my living as a plumber and am just really getting to where I will attempt to use this thing. I hope there is someone here that might be able to help me locate the correct D.U.I. design for my father's WWII unit. He was a mechanic in the 37th Fighter Sqaudron, 6th AAF in Panama. One of his favorate story's was telling people that he had once driven a jeep from the East coast to the West in 1 1/2 hours, not telling them that he was in Panama, wish I new how many times I heard that story. Wish I could hear it one more time. Thanks for any help, Alan in S.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge101 Posted October 27, 2010 Share #110 Posted October 27, 2010 Take a look at http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/. Hopefully, you can find at least some of what you are looking for there. Also, you may want to consider joining the American Society of Military Insignia Collectors (ASMIC). They have a website at www.ASMIC.org. Membership is open worldwide and they publish many catalogs and periodicals concerning insignia. It also provides information about others who share your same collecting interests. Laury Larry you can get alot of US Army DUI from this web site. http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Heraldry...myHeraldry.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tredhed2 Posted November 13, 2010 Share #119 Posted November 13, 2010 For those of you who know me, you know I like military railway service DIs. Here is the 711th (it's a crossection of a rail) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredhed2 Posted November 13, 2010 Share #120 Posted November 13, 2010 Co C, 716th ROB had the greatest notoriety of any US Army unit during WW II. Co C, which in all the railway battatlions had the train crews, was involved w/ the largest monetary loss by a unit utilizing the theft of entire trainloads of materiel after D-Day until Sept 44. Almost 200 men of the company were arrested by Army CID. The EM were given a choice: Leavenworth or a rifle company (the officers went to Leavenworth). These DIs are plentiful. Not too many men want to be remembered by serving in this unit, whether they were a replacement or not. This DI is for the 716th ROB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredhed2 Posted November 13, 2010 Share #121 Posted November 13, 2010 This is a nice German made, bullion on wool/cloth, DI for the 752nd ROB. It also exists in metal enamel, but this is way cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tredhed2 Posted November 14, 2010 Share #125 Posted November 14, 2010 With the WW II shortage of vital metals, many units secured cloth DIs. The 345th IR had thee variations: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
