Need confirmation

I've been told this is WW I 2d Cavalry. Can anyone confirm or deny? I know it is a First Army patch, but the "2" and the yellow section on the bottom suggests 2d Cavalry.

 

What I find very interesting on this patch is how the "2" was later subdued. The original "2" is bright gold with a piece of grey yarn sewn over it

Looks more like faded red to me on the bottom than yellow for cav

That's my scanner. It is more yellow than appears in the photo.
