Hiya Rat, I've got a book on tunnel rats, they're guys from the 1st inf, 25th inf, going by a few photo's it has, they had locally made patches, on there own designs, they wore them on the left breast pocket, hope this helps, Chris. 3rd force recon

Hi again rat, the book doesn't show any photos of the pocket patches, on a couple of photos of the tunnel rats, they're wearing jungle greens or ERDLs with div patch but with no tab above, sorry i can't tell you any more, this is not something i'm normaly into, but have a look on the internet, you may be able to find something
