The new emblem of the division id adopted as of the Camp Swift (1942). It is an arabic "9" associated with a roman "V".
There’s no white around the red 9. These very first patches were manufactured in a small quantity when the 95th ID US has been set up ; therefore, there’re rare to find.
|
On this patch, there’s still no white around the red 9. Notice that it is the only badge on which the « V » is not totally enlaced with the « 9 ». |
|
|
On this badge, there is a white contour around the « 9 » and a green edging all around. It’s undoubtelly the most used model at the time of the liberation of France in 1944. |
