A interesting insignia grouping to Clyde Yaist serving in the C/377 Parachute Field Artillery Battalion. The grouping consists of a white tongue 101st patch, jump wings, and various other small insignia. A nice grouping!

‘ As early as the evening of December 19th, Clyde Yaist of c/377 picked off eight Germans who were trying to stealthily approach the C gun battery pits. Yaist was a crack shot with the M1 rifle and was positioned in a concealed spot in front and below of the batteries to provide security for them. This ‘Artillery Sniper’ using a Garand rifle without the benefit of a scope was placed in battery security assignment by his first sergeant Fred Fitzgerald. As the Germans tried to sneak up a draw towards the US artillery positions in the fading light of December 19th, they were picked off one at a time by rounds fired by Yaist, from a position they couldn’t see and were not aware of until it was too late. ‘ A quote from;  Mark Bando, 101st Airborne – The Screaming eagles in World War II.
