PATCH: Photo Section № 7 (French Made)

[mccooper]

Recently was lucky enough to find this most interesting uniform, belong to Jos. N. Erhart of the 7th Photo Section, later a staff member of the 2nd Aviation Instruction Center, Photographic School in Chatillon, France. Erhart was in charge of the Enlargement and Copy Department. The rank chevron and SSI are both French-made. This is the only one I have ever seen. Has anyone else? Many thank to Brian Stewart and Chuck Thomas for their generous help with identification.

Incredible! Thank you for making my day. With all the info now at hand, I feel like Erhart is an old Army buddy.
