Beginning in the Civil War, the U. S. Army sought to find an
effective system to distinguish troops from different units. In the
closing days of World War I, it finally arrived at a practical and
desirable solution with the adoption of the shoulder patch or
shoulder sleeve insignia. For more than eighty years, this often
simple device, has been the source of pride and inspiration for
servicemen everywhere. This new book (the second of a multi-volume
set), with a gallery of more than 700 color and sepia toned
illustrations of original insignia and period photographs,
documents the evolution of these special insignia. From the period
beginning with World War I to the Korean War era, you won't find a
more indispensable guide for the study and collection of U.S. Army
shoulder patches. Collectors will especially enjoy the handy
reference section for determining whether a patch was made by an
ally or former foe. With special emphasis on theater made patches,
these volumes are sure to be a collector's paradise. Without a
doubt, these books are the finest and most complete efforts to date
on the subject.
