6th Armored Division
After continuing its training in England, 6th AD landed on Utah Beach in Normandy on July 19, 1944 as a follow-on unit, and went on the offensive as separate combat commands in the Cotentin Peninsula in support of the Normandy Campaign.
At the end of the Normandy Campaign, 6th ID assembled at Le Mesnil on July 25, 1944. 6th ID then passed through 8th Infantry Division to clear the heights near Le Bingard on July 27, 1944, and Combat Command A secured a bridgehead across the Sienne River near Point de la Roche on July 29, 1944, and overran Grenville on July 31, 1944. 6th ID then returned to Avranches where it relieved 4th AD and secured the area bridges.

Hi All,
Well ... one PFC Class 'A' uniform from Army Quartermaster Corps and the SSI on the jacket is that of the 4th Service Command:
But ... the ruptured duck being upside-down!
A many time ago ... Allan H. wrote to me:
"There would be no reason to fake a uniform like this and if it were to be faked, then the faker would have concentrated on finding a more exciting unit to fake than the 4th Service command. One other thning- the ruptured duck being upside-down is a GOOD sign. They sewed hundreds of those on daily as the GI's lined up after discharge".
More images:
PS. The uniform have ETO ribbon and some AQC units had been in Algeria-French Morocco; Rome-Arno; Naples-Foggia (with arrowhead); Anzio (with arrowhead); Normandy; Southern France (with arrowhead); Northern France; Ardennes-Alsace; North Apennines; Rhineland and Po Valley.
Best regards,
Ricardo.<!--IBF.ATTACHMENT_37476-->
