U.S. Army Infantry Division Patches World War I, 1917-1919, The Army's First Infantry Div. Patches 

Being a patch and distinctive unit insignia collector mostly post WW2 stuff...I love all these videos... learn something new everytime

I love these videos so much, I’m glad this history wasn’t lost through the years

The 11th Airborne also saw extensive combat in the Pacific during ww2, not just started in Vietnam

My Great Uncle served in the 309th Infantry Regiment of the 78th Division. He was wounded in the Battle of the Meuse Argonne.

Thanks again, Colonel!

Thank you for this extremely well done video and God bless those Brave Men who didn't make it home.

Thank you what an education!🇺🇲

On October 18th 1859 Robert E Lee and Jeb Stewart back on leave from the first 2nd Cavalry, lead a Marine detachment to subdue John Brown at the Armory.

I also have the army document that my grandfather, Pvt. Newell authorized the department to send his pay to his wife in Laredo & that he was stationed at Fort McIntosh & he was from Jackson Lake, La.

Thanks Colonel very much

I started life as a medic with the 82nd Airborne in '81 and ended my career as a Cal Guard Truck driver, which is how I went to Iraq - post 1st Gulf war I saw an AAR that the Army decided that a cheap award for Nat'l Guard and Reservists was to attach them to an Active Division and award them the Combat patch - my Real Combat Patch was 3rd COSCOM, and my award Combat Patch was 4th ID, since that was being done 4th ID made a. patch with different colors to show that they weren't Real 4th ID soldiers - a real bunch of jerks.

I have a Christmas napkin dated 24 December 1917 that has the roster of Company D of the 37th Infantry Division stationed at Fort McIntosh, Laredo,Texas. It has my maternal grandfather’s name on it, Pvt. Homer Floyd Newell. He was from Louisiana but after the war he returned to look up the young girl he invited to the Christmas dinner to marry her. The way they met is a love story in itself. Who keeps napkins & what sweet little nothings did they talk about that Cupid shot the arrow that hit the hearts.

I believe all the patches are also displayed together at the National WW1 Museum and Memorial in Kansas City

At Ft Benning, there is a stadium with the Divisonal Infantry Patches painted around its circumfrance. Hopefully, that hasn't been changed also.

The 168th Infantry Regiment of the 34th Infantry Division did get into the line. It was the only regiment of the 34th Division that saw combat in WW1. 29:23 you should have paused for half a second or so to allow people to get a good look at the 89th Division patches. When the viewer pauses the video, it is blurry.

I have a WW1 helmet with the 3rd infantry div. patch painted on the helmet.

Hi sir, need your help if possible,i got something from WW1engraved whith a name and references of regiments.55th inf. and 7th tn.i made some research on the net but can't find any references about theses regiments in France and the A.E.F.did they were incorporate in other corps or division ? thanks for reading me...greatings from France 🙂

Just a minor correction; the WWI draft started July 20, 1917 and ended in Sep. 1918.

Such a shame that the 13th division was never used as infantry in ww1 in combat, they have one of the best patches!

Thank you, that was very informative. I served with 20th Engineer BGE, 25 ID, 81st BGE (NG), 1st Cav, and 41st ID.

Could you do one on State Guard units

Did you know that the companies from 65th Brigade wore the Australian Battalion shoulder patches from the battalions they were attached to before and during the Battle of Hamel. I'm not sure how long they kept them on for after

i don't know what war you were in the First World started and ended Jul 28, 1914 - Nov 11, 1918 who and where did you fight?

The 4th ID patch is also known as the four LTs pointing north patch. LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣
