<\/a> The T-Patch on the right of the \u00a0picture above is the one which would be used from 1940 through 1968 when the 36th Infantry Division was replaced with the 49th Armored Division. When the 36th was reflagged in 2004 the T-Patch returned with that same design, but with different\u00a0versions, such as a desert tan one, and a black, subdued version.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The distinctive insignia which represents the 36th Infantry Division is called the “T-Patch”.

<\/a>The original T-Patch was very irregular as noted above, there was not a standard design. The museum has many original WWI era T-Patches in the collection and they show the variety of designs being used by the 36th Infantry Division during 1919 and the early 1920’s\u00a0\u00a0The design began to be standardized\u00a0between WWI and WWII in the 1920’s and 1930’s. \u00a0As can be seen in the last 2 \u00a0pictures at the bottom of this post.<\/p>\n
