Stuck inside with snow in May, so here's a grouping that I've been working on for the past 8 months or so. Someday I may catch up with Fred, but it's unlikely! I think all of the variations make these really interesting pieces. Hope you enjoy.

Ron,
When I was in the Army I was told the difference between Infantry and Light Infantry is that they took your trucks and gave you a bigger rucksack.
The wreath color is just that, color. I has no meaning. This patch is for the Jaeger or Hunter. They were a Light Infantry. They originated in late 41 early 42, at least with the 5. Jaeger Division.
