IrishGunner Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) "Here's Your Infantry" was a WW2 traveling tour by US military heroes, including Medal of Honor winners, the purpose of which was to encourage the sale of War Bonds. I've seen reproduction posters with this image for sale on the internet, but not this badge. Here's more on the art in the poster: http://fortmissoulamuseum.org/WWII/detail.php?id=306 Here's the wiki of Charles Kelly (Kelly was the first enlisted man to be decorated with the Medal of Honor for action on the European continent); it mentions him touring as part of "Here's Your Infantry". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_E._Kelly I wonder if this badge was a souvenir from the tour; maybe a token if you bought a war bond. Or given the plethora of reproduction posters, the badge could be a later reproduction as well. Edited August 13, 2013 by IrishGunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speagle Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 What are the dimensions? Is this a belt buckle? Anything special on the reverse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
