November 19, 20205 yr Author #51 Picked up this studio picture. Any ideas what kind of insignia that is on his hat?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
November 19, 20205 yr #52 Its an interesting pic as he appears to be 126th Inf out of the Michigan National Guard. Lots of overseas stripes but no CIB? Maybe a band hat or possibly some version of the Michigan Military Academy? 126th was a unit that saw a huge amount of action so for an infantry soldier it seems odd to not see a CIB and his brass is clearly infantry.

November 19, 20205 yr #53 It's the symbol for Musician or Bandsman, I had a smiliar group of photos/snap shots of an AAF soldier wearing the same symbol. You should post this picture in the band puctureforum.
November 27, 20205 yr Author #54 Thanks gentleman!! Never would have guessed. I’ll try and post it in the band section.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

December 5, 20205 yr Author #59 I was guessing the page on the left side where he talks about the crash was his crew that was captured and the rest were at the camp. I did a quick search when I bought it and found a few of the people on the right were POWs but no other info.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
December 11, 20205 yr Author #61 That note now that I think of it might have went with the enlisted set that came with them. Excited!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

December 18, 20205 yr Author #66 Some damage to tunic and no expert but it looks like a ww1 Jewish faith patch.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
December 18, 20205 yr #67 Well, that's definitely a Jewish patch, for sure! That looks super cool! Is that a Great War or WWII jacket?
December 18, 20205 yr #69 Super cool! I thought the fabric looked like it. I got a portion of a Great War jacket one time, and still have some of the fabric pieces! Prize possessions! I love having Great War fabric for patches, etc. It is amazing to have real yard goods (even if it is more like inch goods, after cutting around all the rips and moth holes!) :)

December 22, 20205 yr Author #71 Never seen this patch but it came with a Rome Airfield group and I think that’s what the initials are for in the bottom.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Well, being the Air Transport Command . . . I suppose it was personalised? If I recall, there isn't usually anything in that spot. Really nice paint job on the patch, that's for sure!
December 23, 20205 yr Author #74 Not sure what the patch is but it looks awesome!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
