United States Division Patches covers the shoulder sleeve insignia of the United States fighting Army Infantry, Marines, Armor, and Cavalry, 1920 to 1945. In World War II, the United States armed forces grew to have 96 fighting divisions, each with its own division patch. This work provides the fascinating stories behind these insignias. Many of the patches have their origins in their troops' experiences during World War I. Others are a product of the interwar period and the Second War. Whatever the division's history, their insignia took on a deep meaning for the division's soldiers and their loved ones as they trained, fought, and died together.
