Any one know what this badge is? Is it a regimental crest? I got it in a batch of other bits and pieces in a box. There were 2 badges in the box as if worn on each shoulder.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick response.

Indeed the 333rd Engineers. It is also found with the title Cherbourg at the top. This unit was heavily involved in the clearing and rebuilding of the Cherbourg Harbor in WW2
