Hello Page list, I recently found a picture of a great uncle of mine who was in the army in WW2. On his left sleeve are the patches which my father and I have decided are a 5th army and also a "T" sergeant patch, but also on the lower left sleeve by his wrist is 3 stripes which indicate time in service. I guess my question is, does each stripes on the lower left sleeve indicate two years of service or four years in service? We are just trying to figure out how long this uncle was in the Army. Thanks Steve Page
