hello all...just saw a recent post on fabric type for US patches which prompted me to dig out this group of patches I had stored away....these are patches that my father gathered while he was in the service(57-82)....I believe they are all period to WW2 but I am not sure, so I am posting for comment....also, if anyone could identify the bottom two patches that would be appreciated...

Hi There

They all are WWII era some were used post war as the units were still active.

The bottom 2 are 99th Infantry Division (OR) also known as checkboard due to the white/Blue design.

The ADC is Alaskan Defence Command unauthorized and approved for local wear. There are many variations of this design.

The authorized SSI is the Polar Bear Head ,1943 Alaskan Defence Command then renamed Alaskan Department 1943-1947.

The 99th is interesting because it is a manufacturers variation , the authorized design is below for comparison.
