U.S. Army Infantry I.D. 4 square panel.
Posted by ipmsfan45 on Thursday, June 28, 2007 3:22 AM
On page 200 of the book, World War II Album from Smithmark pub.there is a picture of U.S. Infantry during the invasion of Kwajalein, ( I think they might be part of the 7th "Sight Seeing" infantry div.) and these troop's have 4 square I.D. panel's on their back's in the shape of one big square. two of the panel's that are diaganal from each other are white, and the other two are???Being that it is a black and white picture there lies the problem.Has anyone ever seen these panel's before, and what color the the other two square's are. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

I think it might be orange but can't be certain.

Thanks for the info, I also forgot to say that the two color panel was about 2 ft. by 2 ft. and was worn over the back pack. I think that they where used to ID friendly troop's so that they did'nt get fubar'd by their own guy's. There's no such thing as friendly fire.Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]
