This is an authentic World War II era U.S. Army 26th Infantry Division patch, also known as the "Yankee Division". The insignia features a blue monogram of the letters "YD" embroidered on a khaki-colored diamond background. The division was nicknamed "Yankee" because it was formed from National Guard units from the six New England states.
