    Right side is certainly Tenth Army - nice!
    Left side (current unit) I'll leave it to you. Certainly won't be USMC.

    Photos are good hey...


    Wishful thinking on my part perhaps. But it does have an odd shape. There could only be so many units under the tenth army, it has to be one of them.

    It doesn't necessarily HAVE to be one of the sub-units of the 10th Army. I have seen/owned many uniforms that have one patch from a Pacific unit and another from a European unit. I even used to own one with an armored triangle on the right sleeve and an 8th airforce patch on the left. Odd things do happen on US uniforms.

    Another that I currently have (will have to post) has a Navy Amphibious patch on the right and an Army Amphibious patch on the left. This one is odd since we don't usually think it possible for someone to transfer between branches of the military, but I think that with specific solder, it's within the realm of logic that he would while performing the same job.

    It reminds me a lot of the North African theater patch, but it seems impossible for it to be so
