Audacious. That was Patton's strategy and even though the Nazis expected it, they couldn't dtop him

That shoulder patch was worn by all of us who were assigned to the Army’s Infantry Training Center at Ft Jackson in 1966. I still have mine somewhere in the stack of stuff.

1LT Voyle Smith - well, we were wearing the TRADOC patch at Ft Jackson by the time the 90's rolled around :-)

I wore that patch serving on active duty, in the Army Reserve, and as a Department of the Army Civilian (DAC) deployed for Desert Storm. I retired from Third Army/USARCENT as a DAC in 2001.
Note the patch on the picture from 1919. The "A" represents Army and "O" occupation.
I think this was meant to be mailed as it has a French stamp on it.
