This airborne configuration is slightly post WW2. I have listed this patch in the WW2 section because I believe it to be a noteworthy collectible that will enhance any WW2 patch collection. The history of this patch is that after the units’ participation in WW2 it was deactivated in January 1946 at Camp Kilmer, New Jersey; then in July 1946 it was redesignated the 80th Airborne Quartermaster Company and at the same time the 80th Infantry Division was redesignated as the 80th Airborne Division.
