I'm trying to ID this patch. The closest I've come is a similar gold bullion on blue felt patch identified to the 56th Engineer Regiment (Searchlight).

 

Can anyone offer anymore info on it?

 

Tnx,

Scott

There was also a 57th Engineer Regiment (Searchlight} that either went operational just before the Armistice was signed or else it was still training in France & never went into action.

 

If that patch design was used during 1918-1919, as far as I know, there are two possibilities:

 

56th Engineer Regiment (Searchlight)

57th Engineer Regiment (Searchlight)

Can't add to what it is, but super cool patch! I love the Great War patches on the green wool. What is fun is that piece of paper that they used on the back of the embroidery! How fun!
