Original 1950’s Korean War era US Army 307th Airborne Engineer Battalion Shoulder Sleeve Insignia Patch.
Often misrepresented as “WW2 era” the round “Injuneers” Patch was actually produced between 1957-1959. “1 SGT (ret.) Andy Andersen, a past national President of the 82nd Airborne Division Association. wrote: "I was in the 307th Engr. Bn., Co A, from 1957 to 1959, rank of SP/4 . In this time frame the round 307 Injuneers patch surfaced. It was designed and painted by a SP/4 Robert Covington (a native American) and was approved by our Bn. Cdr. Lt Col. Horace Crouch (Bn. Cdr. Jan 1958- Sept 1959). I assume it went up to division headquarters for approval. We all wore that patch on our left shirt pocket as part of our daily uniform.”
