Description
Towards the end of the Great War, the United States Army started to distinguish its units with cloth shoulder insignia. From 1941, due to the terrific expansion of its numbers, these multi-coloured shoulder patches became more numerous and contributed to the spirit of the new units. This guide illustrates in full colour the insignia worn by Army units, in Europe, Asia and the Pacific, together with a brief history and the main variations.
