The 146th Engineer Combat Battalion was a part of the V Corps, First Army, from D-Day until early May 1945. V Corps served in Gen. Patton's Third Army for only a few days before V-E Day, May 8, 1945. The patch that the 146th wore was a Pentagon. Look at the hood ornament of a Chrysler Corporation vehicle & you will see the patch worn by the 146th, a famous unit of the E.T.O.

AnswerYou may wish to check 146thengcombatbn for info on the battalion. AnswerI think I have a patch from my father's uniform who was the company commander of Company B of the 146th during D-Day. If I have one I can take a digital picture and email it to you if you respond to this. If I don't have the patch, I do have original documents with the insignia I can scan and email.Hi. I've been researching the 146th for years, and I was always under the impression that they wore the "A" patch of the First Army on D-Day because they were organic to the Army level. Were they a Corps asset instead? If anyone still checking this is willing send me the documentation, I would be extremely grateful. I'm working on a thesis project for a master's degree in Public History, regarding this unit's D-Day activity. Thanks!

Did General George S Patton's father fight in the Civil War?
Colonel George S. Patton, his grandfather, served in the 22nd Virginia Infantry of the Confederate States of America and was killed during the Battle of Opequon. As an interesting side note: The Confederate Congress had promoted Colonel Patton to brigadier general; however, at the time, he had already died of battle wounds, so that promotion was never official. Had he survived a few more days he would have been the first "General Patton" instead of his grandson.
General George S Patton Jr?
George S. Patton was commissioned a second lieutenant in 1909. He became a full (4 star) general in 1945 after having served throughout WW1 and WW2, as well as in Mexico in 1917.

Where can you find the names of veterans who served under General Patton during World War 2 from November 1939 to December 1946?

Patton was the Commanding Officer of the 2nd Armored Division, II Corps, Seventh & Third Army before he died in December 1945. I own most of the histories of the divisions that served under Gen. Patton during WW 2, so if you just need random names I can provide you with several thousand. Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections.com
Did George S Patton ever get wounded in battle?
George Smith Patton Jr. was born in San Gabriel, California in 1885, to George Smith Patton Sr. (1856-1927) and his wife Ruth Wilson (1861-1928), daughter of Benjamin Davis Wilson. Although he was actually the third George Smith Patton after his grandfather, he was called Junior. The Pattons were an affluent family of Scots-Irish and English descent. As a boy, Patton read widely in the classics and military history. His father was a friend of John Singleton Mosby, the noted cavalry leader of the Confederate Army in the American Civil War who served first under J.E.B. Stuart and then as a guerrilla fighter. Patton grew up hearing Mosby's stories of his adventures, and longed to become a general himself. Patton came from a military family; ancestors even before his grandfather included General Hugh Mercer of the American Revolution.[5] His grand uncle, Waller T. Patton, died of wounds received in Pickett's Charge during the Battle of Gettysburg. John M. Patton and Isaac Patton, also his grand uncles, were colonels in the Confederate States Army. Another grand uncle, William T. Glassell, was a Confederate States Navy officer. Hugh Weedon Mercer, a Confederate general, was his close relative. John M. Patton, a great-grandfather, was a lawyer and politician who had served as acting governor of Virginia. Patton's paternal grandparents were Colonel George Smith Patton and Susan Thornton Glassell. His grandfather, born in Fredericksburg, Virginia, graduated from Virginia Military Institute (VMI), Class of 1852, second in a class of 24. After graduation, George Smith Patton studied law and practiced in Charleston, Virginia (now West Virginia). When the American Civil War broke out, he served in the 22nd Virginia Infantry of the Confederate States of America and was killed during the Battle of Opequon. The Confederate Congress had promoted Colonel Patton to brigadier general; however, at the time, he had already died of battle wounds, so that promotion was never official.

Did general george s Patton fight in World War 1?
Yes he led our first armored batallion in ww1.
How did general george s Patton change history?
Which General Patton? There were two, father and son; WWII Patton the father and Vietnam Patton the son. The son was a Colonel commanding the famed 11th ACR Blackhorse regiment in Vietnam and later general; the father commanded the 3rd Army in Europe in WWII and died in a car accident enroute to a hunting trip in Europe in 1945. Neither changed history but rather contributed to military history. Germany would've lost the war regardless of Patton's participation in it; ; Vietnam would've been lost regardless of Patton junior's contribution. The only solid change or contribution was Patton senior's legacy of "history" (which can be worded as "glory") in WWII and the 3 US Army medium gun tanks named after him: the M46 Patton, M47 Patton, and the M48 Patton. All were 90mm gun tanks. Patton junior's legacy was being the son of his father and also serving in a war and commanding a famous armored cavalry regiment. No other Pattons have served in combat and commanded an armored unit.
