February 9, 20224 yr #1 This is another piece from my 100th Division collection. The banner is fully embroidered and double-sided. It's been hanging on my office wall for over 20 years. Aside from some discoloration on the top white wave of the regimental insignia on both sides of the banner, it's in good shape. If anyone has any insight into the age or history of the piece, I'd certainly appreciate it.

February 17, 20224 yr #3 Bugle Tabard of the regiment's band is what that is, and will date from the 1930s, till the time Infantry Regimental Bands are disestablished in early WWII, forgot the date. When this Bugle was used the 100th Division was in the Reserves, the 397th Infantry specially was in West Virginia.
