The insignia of the Avengers of Bataan! Up for sale is a genuine World War II era shoulder sleeve insignia (SSI) for the US Army 38th Infantry Division. The "Cyclone Division" saw heavy combat in the Pacific Theater (PTO), famously fighting to liberate the Philippines. This patch is a textbook WWII original, featuring a fully embroidered background, a flat "Cut Edge," and the classic white bobbin thread "snowy back." It shows honest signs of being uniform-removed, giving it a fantastic authentic combat patina. A must-have for any Pacific War collector!

The Cyclone that swept through the Pacific.

  • Unit History: Deployed to the Pacific Theater, the 38th Infantry Division played a crucial role in the Philippines campaign. Their fierce fighting on the Bataan Peninsula earned them the nickname "The Avengers of Bataan" from General Douglas MacArthur himself.

  • Design: The patch features a spade/shield shape divided into blue and red halves. The white center monogram spells "CY," representing their primary nickname, the "Cyclone Division".

  • WWII Construction: This piece exhibits standard 1940s production hallmarks: fully machine-embroidered, a flat un-merrowed "Cut Edge," and the highly desirable white return thread ("snowy back") on the reverse.

  • Condition: "Uniform Removed." The slightly frayed and folded edges indicate this patch was genuinely sewn onto a soldier's tunic and later removed. This wear adds incredible character that collectors love.
