    1. I have a few pictures I would like to share that my Dad sent home from North Africa in 1942-1943. He was a mechanic for forward observers in the 314th Signal Co. Wing. He was originally sent to Bombay,India up to Burma and back to Bombay and then to North Africa. He then went to Sicily and over to Italy, up thru Rome and ended up in the Northern part of Italy at the wars end.

      This first picture is a posed shot by the sphinx and pyramids.

    2. This is a 2003, Special Forces Flag. It is 48 in. long and 32 in wide and is a one sided flag.

      The translation is:

      Above: 23rd Fast Enterance Crowd- SF

      Middle: Special Force

      Below: Second Detachment

      A Fast Enterance Crowd is a "quick reaction" force of about 300 soldiers .

    3. This is a Iraqi Traffic Policeman arm patch. It is 3.75 in. in diameter and made out of a felt like material. It was used at the end of the 1970's or beginning of the 1980's. After the embargo was placed against Iraq in 1990, they had to make their own patches,badges and medals and the quality was not good. Before 1990, their patches,badges and medals were made outside of Iraq and of very good quality.

    4. Well done Bob - with the present situation in Iraq these are going to attract a lot of interest. Are they all current ? Would be nice if someone could add photos of the uniforms showing the patches being worn ?

      I was going to post a picture of one of the patches being worn on a uniform in Iraq yesterday from another web site but it didn't work. I don't know what I did wrong but will give it another try later.
