Seventh Army US Army World War II Uniform Shoulder Patch

World War II uniform shoulder patch for the Seventh Army. This patch was approved June 23, 1943. The letter “A” for “Army” is formed by seven steps indicating the numerical designation of the unit. The colors suggest the three basic combat branches which make up a field army – blue for Infantry, red for Artillery, and yellow for Armor (Cavalry). Veterans of the Seventh Army wore a tab reading “Seven Steps to Hell” under the patch, but this tab was never officially authorized. The Seventh Army was the first U.S. Field Army to see combat in WWII. ***Preowned, vintage & antique items have been loved & used, there may be some marks & imperfections.
