Description
FIRST 82ND AIRBORNE DIVISION PATCH
Very early World War I era 82nd Infantry Division patch, 3" x 3", still stitched to a section of a green wool American uniform. The 82nd Division was organized on 25 August 1917, at Camp Gordon, Georgia. Since its initial members came from all 48 states, the unit acquired the nickname All-American, which is the basis for its famed "AA" shoulder patch. It fought at St. Mihiel and in the Meuse Argonne offensive. Sergeant Alvin C. York and Gen. James M. Gavin were both members of the division.
