XIX

The Nineteenth Corps second design shoulder
patch was approved by the AGO on May 3rd, 1944,
after the Corps was reorganized and redesignated
in the Army of the United States on October 10th,
1943. from the III Armored Corps. The Corps was
located at Camp Polk, Louisiana, when it was
redesignated, and records could not be found to
indicate positively if the first design insignia was
worn. Because the unit was reorganizing for overseas
shipment and eventually forwarded the third design from
Europe for approval, it is believed that the first design
was not worn during WW II. The Corps embarked for the
European Theater on January 7th, 1 944.

The second design patch was manufactured for issue to
personnel assigned to the Corps but was worn only in small
quantities as Corps troops preferred the third design.
