Add a highly prized piece of early 20th-century American military history to your collection with this rare WWI / Early Interwar U.S. Fifth Army Corps (V Corps) Patch. Distinct from the later WWII Fifth Army "mosque" design, this historic emblem features early felt construction—constructed from a white felt pentagonal backing with five red five-pointed stars directly embroidered in a pentagonal pattern. Established in France in May 1918 under the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF), the V Corps earned distinction during the Saint-Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne offensives. Early felt variants from the World War I era are exceptionally sought after by advanced militaria collectors due to their delicate materials and limited survival rate. Ideal for AEF uniform restorations, museum-grade shadow boxes, World War I displays, and early military insignia collections.
