Historical Unit Heritage
Originally approved in 1918, the 86th Infantry Division adopted the "Blackhawk" title in honour of Sauk Chief Black Hawk. The division served across Europe during World War Two, fighting in the Ruhr Pocket and liberating the Attendorn labour camp. Wearing this original military surplus patch adds authentic historical lineage to any military insignia display.
