Patch, 4th Infantry Division, Oversized variation, Green Back, 1943

Genuine WWII US shoulder sleeve insignia of the 4th Infantry Division 'Ivy', which landed as part of the first wave on Utah Beach on D-Day. The 'Ivy Division' subsequently participated in the liberation of Cherbourg in late June, before joining the 'battle of the hedgerows' in the Bocage in early July where it sustained heavy casualties.

This is the oversized version, green back, made in 1943. This insignia has its corners folded to make a regular sized insignia.
