Add a historic piece of WWII Mediterranean theater military heritage to your collection with this vintage U.S. Fifth Army Shoulder Sleeve Insignia. Crafted with period-authentic flat cut-edge border construction, this shield patch features high-density embroidery set against a vibrant red cloth background. The iconic heraldic design displays a blue mosque-shaped dome outline—paying homage to its official activation in Morocco, North Africa in 1943—enclosing a bold white letter "A" and numeral "5". Under the command of General Mark W. Clark, the Fifth Army led the arduous campaigns across North Africa, the Salerno landings, Monte Cassino, and the push through Italy. Ideal for WWII uniform restorations, military shadow boxes, Italian campaign displays, veteran tributes, and militaria collections.
