Description
This is a printed version of the United States Army shoulder patch for the Kiska Task Force (some members of the task force were also associated with the First Special Service Forces). Kiska is an Aleutian island that the Allied Forces "invaded" in 1943 but the outcome was rather anticlimactic as the Japanese had already deserted the island upon the troops' arrival. The patch shows a downward stabbing dagger.
