"The insignia approved in 1917 was not well received and a new design was announced for the Tank Corps...."

Well, DUH! Ya' think? Laughing

Interesting stuff, Mark, thanks for posting.

I actually had the last one shown when I was a kid (Enlisted Version on roundel).

Was given to me by my neighbor. Was her husbands. Wish I knew what happened to it Sad

Wasn't the last one also used as one of the OPFOR insignia at NTC for a while? I have one like that somewhere around here (still packed) I got when I visited with Jeff Button.

These are the OPFOR insignia for Armor.

Brass was worn on Beret. We also wore our rank (US in Brass) with a red star, order of precedence was Rank, Star, Tank.

The subdued tank was worn on our uniform collar with an OD green epaulet. For special duty/parade we wore the brass tank with black epaulet. This was when we still used dyed versions of the OG106 uniform with unique shoulder boards for rank.

Of course none of those insignia are actually Mk VIII Liberty tanks - closer to Mk IVs...

I knew you'd come through, Joe. You have "Bad Guy" written all over you. Laughing
