Two World War II-dated shoulder patches presented by Col. Joseph Stilwell, Jr. to admirer Faith Senglaub: a 2.25 x 3.25 shield patch of the China Burma India (CBI) Theater, and a 2.5″ patch of the Army Ground Forces (AGF), the latter of which originates from the collection of his father, General Joseph Stilwell. The CBI patch is accompanied by a transmittal ALS signed “J. W. Stilwell, Jr., Col.-Inf.,” dated May 24, 1945, which features Stilwell explaining the patch’s design and noting that “Burma is not represented on the insignia—their national emblem is a peacock.” The AGF patch is accompanied by a transmittal letter from Major Carl G. Arnold, dated June 29, 1945, who writes: “Colonel Stilwell has asked that I send you one of General Stilwell’s patches.” In overall fine condition. Accompanied by their original mailing envelopes.
