Army Patches
#2

No the 540th, 36th, 39th, and 1108th were never part of a division and therefore did not have divisional patches. They were "bastard" units and were a separate unit unto themselves. They would be under Corps or Army Command, thus during their tours of duty were in direct orders from 5th and 7th Army and II or VI Corps.

 

The 540th did wear they regimental patches, the seahorse, pictured here.

 

Later when they were converted from Regiment to Group, each battalion, the 2832nd and 2833rd, had their own unique designation.
