This is a World War II shoulder patch with a green back for the United States Army 26th Infantry Division, also known as the Yankee Division. The patch is diamond-shaped in khaki twill and bears an interlocking blue capital "Y" and "D" that stand for the Massachusetts group's nickname.

This is from a United States Army collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months VBX95 LCEX6/11 SCEX05/25/22

7+ (Very Fine+): The patch shows some light to medium wear, mostly along the edge.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
