TerryG Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Just got this photo. Nice Minesweeper and Sub badges. What is the emblem on his left arm?
Glenn J Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Terry,it is the career insignia of a Torpedo Mechanic above the three chevrons of a Hauptgefreiter.RegardsGlenn
Guest Rick Research Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Uhhh, is that a BeVo yellow on blue overseas cap eagle sewn onto his cap? And maybe I'm seeing things and it's a splotch on the image, but it sure looks to me like he is wearing his EK1 upside down--with the tip of the pin sticking out ABOVE!!! Can you improve the focus?
TerryG Posted January 20, 2007 Author Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) Good eye Rick!!! It does indeed look like the tip of a pin sticking out there. I have looked at the photo with a 10x magnifying glass but I still cannot make out the top or bottom of the cross.... Edited January 20, 2007 by TerryG
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 I have seen a couple of different pix with upside down EK1s...Also of note, his EK2 ribbon is right out of the packet, the crease not ironed out of it,,,,
