Pocket Patches

Does anybody have a good photo showing back in the day when the 2d Cavalry patch was worn on the front fatigue pocket, and the 7th Army patch was worn on the left shoulder?

The 2d Cavalry museum needs it.

No Bob, it was the regular Toujours Pret patch, but instead of wearing it on the left shoulder, they wore it on the left pocket.
