Thumbnail Filmstrip of 4th Armored Division, "Theater-Made" Bullion Patch Images
Tailor made
version of the Armored Forces patch. These types of patches were sometimes
purchased privately by the soldiers, usually for wear on dress uniforms.
Usually they were placed 1/2"-1" under the
shoulder seam. The current unit was sewn to the left sleeve,
while any previous unit might be placed on the right sleeve.
In the early to mid-war period, independent tank battalions used the plain "Armored Force" patch, then started to use the numbered ones by around 1944. Armored division personnel mostly wore their appropriate divisional patch.
