Formerly Unknown Insignia Indentified on this Site



Anyone with any unknown insignia are welcome to E-mail a .jpg image of them to me. Those that are felt to have general interest may appear on this page. I would ask that material, which is foreign, non-military or clearly not World War Two period not be sent. I realized that if you knew exactly what it was you would not be calling it unidentified. If any viewer recognizes an insignia on this page please E-mail the identification and the approximate dates of use. Answers will be forwarded and posted unless parties request otherwise.

NOTES:
  1. AST = Army Specialized Training Program.
  2. This is an Honor Society within the VFW. (Craig McGlinn)
  3. This has been incorrectly labeled as the 862nd in some references.
  4. The Navy League of the United States was founded in 1902 with the encouragement of President Theodore Roosevelt. The Navy League is a military-oriented civilian organization dedicated to the education of our citizens regarding the importance of sea power and to the support of the men and women of the sea services and their families.
