Looking for help again! Francis J. Ryan

From what I can tell from the photo it is a square patch with what looks like a circle shape on it. I must admit that the photo itself is small and lacks the detail to be sure. It is sewn onto his right sleeve above the cuff. From what I have read this is the placement for the Meritorious Unit Award Patch for that era jacket. If only to have the uniform itself...

 

My father recently told me that in one of the family moves my grandfathers entire uniform...jacket, boots, medals, patches and all got thrown out without a thought. Ahh to dream....

 

Thanks for your help.
