4th Infantry Division Insignia
PART ONE
************************************
The following are examples of the US Army approved design of the Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (SSI) for the 4th Infantry Division.
First worn during World War 1, the design of the Ivy Leaves was standardized by the Office of the Quartermaster General in 1923, and in about 1960 the background color went from olive drab to white.
All these are items from my personal collection.
