Hsin C. Posted November 17, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 17, 2018 Here are some of my Chinese WWII hats. I think these three were brought back by CBI vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted November 18, 2018 Share #3 Posted November 18, 2018 Interesting cap badge on the one on the right end, what is it a U.S. Pack Howitzer? may we see a closer view of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRA227 Posted November 19, 2018 Share #4 Posted November 19, 2018 Love the hats. Wish I had one. Rich A. in Pa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsin C. Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted November 23, 2018 Thanks patches and RRA227 Here is the requested close up. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. "5REG 238" I think the 238 is the badge number. These pins were like passes and were individually serial numbered and assigned to a person. On the back it says "Used in the 34th Year (1945)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted November 23, 2018 Share #7 Posted November 23, 2018 Thanks Hsin, when you say Badge Number, would this mean the Soldier's individual serial number, or say his, what we call in the American Military, his Unit Roster Number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS Posted November 23, 2018 Share #8 Posted November 23, 2018 I see what appear to be 3 different types of cap badges, cloth, enamel, and painted. Nice collection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel griffin Posted November 24, 2018 Share #9 Posted November 24, 2018 Very hard to find hats, thanks for posting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsin C. Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share #10 Posted November 25, 2018 I think it is just a badge number assigned to that person, not a soldier's number stamped to the pin. Thanks Matt and Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
