Great Dane Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I found this patch in a tin box containing papers (award documents, letters, newspapers, etc.) from a guy who served as a doctor onboard a hospital ship during the Korean war. I doubt it has anything to do with him (he wasn't american and didn't fight in WWII), so it was probably put in the box at a later time.I did a little research on the net, and found out it's a patch for "Communications Zone personnel- European Theater of Operations, used between February 1944 and February 1946."Can anybody confirm that?I don't collect patches, so can you also tell me if it's a gem og as common as sand in Sahara?Provided it's not worth a fortune, I'm willing to give it away for free (I'd rather see it in someones collection than in the back of my drawer). (this picture is actually taken from the internet, but if you need pictures of the real patch, just let me know)/Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFloyd Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 "European Theater of Operations (Advance Base)" by my sources. Made up mostly of rear echelon support staff people.Rather common among the patch collectors, but it could find a good home with a young or new collector.Jeff Floyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
