@soar2newhighs Do you know the division? My dad was also in the 5th Army, 88th
infantry division, 350th regiment, A company I have done extensive research and wrote
about his unit. I don't recognize the shoulder patch. My dads was a clover leaf, actually
two crossed 8's for the 88th It was blue, the krauts called them the blue devils.
@DogMan Patton’s 3rd Army, 5th infantry Division, aka Red Diamond. He was a medic.

@soar2newhighs Tough job, my respect to him. Dad told me a lot of medics were
killed, running from fox hole to fox hole helping the wounded during artillery barrages.
@DogMan Military medics…a God send to the battlefield.
