Description
A cardboard mounted display of a collection of 42 military patches, badges of honor and divisional badges from World War I. It is printed in black "Badges of Honor/ Division Badges/ These marks were used when troops went into action. At that time they were stripped of all other Insignia so the enemy would not be able to identify them./ If you can't wear a Divisional Badge, wear a Victory Liberty Loan Button." The badges include the "92nd Div. 'Red Hand' Division Negro Troops"; the "42nd Div. 'Rainbow' Division Guard Troops", and the "24th Div. 'Lincoln Division' Troops" among many others. Formerly F-37.
