  Shoulder Sleeve Insignia of the US Armed..
Posted by: Walt's Daughter - 07-19-2006, 08:06 AM - Forum: WWII Books & Magazines - Replies (1)


Upon recommendation from my friend Richard Horrell at WW2Connections, I placed an order from Alibris Books for:

 

Shoulder Sleeve Insignia of the US Armed Forces 1941-1945

by Richard W. Smith

 

The edition has 251 pages, with 32 color plates. Format is 81/2 in. wide by 11 in. tall.

 

Since I not only conduct research for myself, but for others now too, I know this will become an indispensable book in my library. B)

 

 

You can find copies through using these ISBN's:

 

Hardback ISBN 0-9618883-2-6

 

Paperback ISBN 0-9618883-3-4

  Engineer Patch - 341st General Srv Reg
Posted by: Jeff B. - 07-18-2006, 03:43 PM - Forum: WWII ENGINEERS - Replies (33)


My Uncle George was in the 341st Engineer Gen. Serv. Reg. In the one picture of him that I have seen he is wearing his dress uniform which has a shoulder patch that is round. Inside this round circle are cross hairs with the diagonal quarters colored in. It looks like cross hairs one sees in a rifle scope or a transit. I think this photo was taken in 1943 before he shipped out for Europe.

 

Can anyone shed some light on this? My research so far is that the 341st was a part of 1st Army for a little while in France and later 3rd Army after the breakout. I am not positive of this so if anyone knows for sure I would love to hear.

 

Thanks,

 

Parker

PRAYER REQUEST

 

According to the weather reports, it is 122 degrees in Iraq right now - and the low will be 111! Our troops need our prayers for strength, endurance, and safety. If it be God's will, give these men and women the strength they need to prevail.

"Dear Father in Heaven, Holy is your name, we come to you in Jesus name, petitioning for your grace upon the troops that are in Iraq. We ask that you keep them in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Please help them to make it thru the weather extremes. We pray also that you will give each leader wisdom. Lead them not into temptation but deliver them from evil. Please heal the broken hearted and encoura ge the down cast. Please bring this war to a quick resolve. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen."

 

Prayer Request: When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our troops around the world.
