I only recognize tech corporal and the sergeant's stripes. Can anyone name the others? I'm not positive they're all my dad's, but I know he worked with trucks and jeeps, and was a sergeant when he left the service.
Thanks for any help!

World War II insignia
These were in a little box marked "Probably Kirby's," in handwriting I don't recognize. It was passed on by one of my aunts.

Unit patches. They designate the units he served with.

The one top left is 7th Army
Top right is for 5th Armored Division
Those two are official. The one middle right I didn't find on a quick perusal, it's likely an unofficial patch for a small division or a specific mission.
The ribbon is the Army Good Conduct medal.
The rank is Staff Sgt.
ReplyDeleteThe middle right patch is the WWII 2nd Air Force patch.

I had thirteen views from Germany for this post, I think. If someone could show me a link to where it was mentioned or discussed, I'd be interested! Thanks.
