Re:sleeve patch on jacket question
Well, no joy here ... the AR 600-40 Wear of the Service Uniform I have is from 1941, before the patches in question were authorized, so nothing on them.
I have asked around, and one collector says he thinks he has seen a pic of an Ike configured like you want; if he remembers correctly, it was Tech Spec patch on bottom, MUC about an inch above, but we will keep looking for the picture of the uniform to be sure.
