American Flag Armband from Normandy landings, given to me by Gene Fiducia - 631st Engineer - Light Equipment Company.

Also from Gene... Another armband.

From the Army Times Newspaper - This photo posted on December 9, 1944

Booklet from the War Years called - Give 3... Get 4!

This was in reference to the Pay Roll Savings Plan.

It's just a short booklet, so I plan on scanning all the pages some time later and placing it in a PDF file.

Well thank you Jim You told me about this armband on Ebay this afternoon and I waited until the last 4 minutes and pounced on it. Too cool!

It had your name written on it!

So Marion where do you keep it all?

Kyle

Cool. The SP armband is a Navy Shore Patrol or the equivalent of an Army MP.

Wonder why the colors are reversed on yours? (Remember-- I know nuddin about navel militaria---nor naval, either.)

What is the last image you posted? Is that a patch or sign or just a photo of an Engineer castle??

Parnell: Where do I keep it all? Well actually right now it's pretty much kept in drawers for safe keeping. One of these days I'll actually have somewhere to DISPLAY it all.

Steve:

It's a leather armband. I will tell you more about condition etc. when it arrives.

I received it on Saturday. I was wrong, it is cloth. It's red, with the white engineer's castle and white lettering. It's in very good condition. It has three sets of snaps to fit various arms.

Al Kincer kindly sent these to me for my collection. Al as always I am forever grateful. You have helped me tremendously in my research and have also become a friend of great and rare value. Thank you. Your kindness shall never be forgotten.

Nice. Seeing that X Corps badge(I presume that is what it is), reminds me of our last meeting of the Military Collector's Club. He had a different corps patch that had the green edging that made it worth quite a bit. I was a little surprised as the corps patches are NOT considered much of very collectable.

Better hang on to it.

BTW, I bought an Engineers patch that has the Red/White Shield seperated by a wavy line down the middle and the seahorse on the right side. I thought of donating it to my favorite Engineer Web Master if she was interested. Do you have one?

Steve

I didn't see the 34th Red Bull Divn. patch. If you don't knowwhereto get one or two, e-mail Jerry Gorden-jlg34d@msn.com. Marion if you don't have one, I'll take the one off my shirt sleeve and send it to you. Rocky
