Engineer Patch - 341st General Srv Reg

[Jeff B.]

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,
