2nd Battalion HQ Company Communications

Very Large Wool Felt Shoulder Patch

Very Rare Patch....Don\'t Miss This One...!!!

The US Army\'s communications units, a vital part of every Army action since the Civil War, came of age during the Cold War. Using radios and other communications gear with tubes and later transistorized integrated circuitry and now satellite communications gear and computers. This patch features a stylized Donald Duck with radio gear and is from the estate of a former veteran who was stationed in West Germany during the time period of 1949 to 1961 and he was a member of battalion level communications unit and that is all I was able to learn.

The best I can figure this is from the 1st Infantry Division, 26th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Battalion and was from their Headquarters Company, communications section.

The patch measures just over 7-1/2\" in height and 4-1/2 inches in with and is diamond shaped. This patch is embroidery on wool felt with a cut edge and mesh backing (see the photos). It could have been theater made in West Germany or US made.

If someone out there on knows something different please contact me.....

Condition Note: Patch is in Very Good+++ to Fine unused, unsewn condition. There is some moth damage on the edges, however since I acquired the patch a few years ago it has been kept in a sealed zip lock bag out of the light.The patch has brilliant colors with a mesh backing that is not sealed. The patch does NOT glow under UV light (last two photos). These last two points are consistent with the time period.

This patch isnot a recent reproduction andis absolutely original to the period. Unfortunately, I do not have this veteran\'s name - there was no family member present at the estate. This patch was stored, with a number of others like it,in a small box in a dresser drawer for
