I am glad I saved that book for so many years.  I am proud that you will keep it forever Dave, with all the 2nd ACR stuff.

Harold, in the album list on the left side, click on "2d Cav" and the 1958 book is there.

But looking back you are getting there also.

2d DRAGOONS

This was the third design of the 2d Cavalry DUI, worn from 1924-1931. The sharp points on the ends of the bottom scroll again called for a redesign.
