Default New Additions. WW2 India/Burma Theater

Have gotten the opportunity recently to purchase a number of pieces out of an old formation sign collection here in the U.S. The collection was well represented with signs from India/Burma during the war. Many of these signs being brought home following the war by a U.S. Army Intelligence Officer.

Two signs to the 81st West African and one to the 202nd Assam L.O.C. The two W.A pieces are interesting in that the larger sleeve insignia is vendor or maker stamped to reverse. The smaller may have been used on a bush hat. Had not seen an example of this rounded version before. Thoughts and comments always appreciated.
Thanks
Jack
