Anyone have any info on this patch? It's on the left sleeve of my granddad's field jacket.

Click the Alpha Army Command link on the left and it will pull up the patch.
Doesnt give a history and a quick google search brought up nothing useful
Thanks, I'll keep searching around to see if I can find some useful information.

My dad was a Platoon Sergeant for a Pershing unit. I think that is a USAREUR patch for Pershing, I'll try and find out.
