Wedgehead30 Posted January 2, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2019 This patch came with several WW1 Division Patches. It's very nicely chain stitched. Each side is just under four inches. I'm thinking it's a YMCA patch but I can't find anything comparable. Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albatrosdva Posted August 25, 2019 Share #2 Posted August 25, 2019 It's got to be YMCA. All the colors are typical of theirs with horizon blue and red. For those that made it overseas, almost all uniform equipment they had was provided once they got over there. All kinds of variations. 4" is big for their uniforms but it could be a shoulder patch or just a souvenir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted August 25, 2019 Share #3 Posted August 25, 2019 YMCA insignia at the National World War I Museum. The designs are arguably similar to the posted photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siamundo Posted September 7, 2019 Share #4 Posted September 7, 2019 It might be Hi-Y related. Hi-Y and Tri-Y were YMCA programs for High School students dating back to 1927. Here is a nice website with much of their insignia pictured http://www.vintagekidstuff.com/hiy/hiy.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
