Fort Bliss, Texas - 1940: Early 1st Armored Division Patch
In 1940, Maj. Gen. Chaffee combined the 7th Cavalry Brigade (Mechanized) patch with the triangle of the old World War I Tank Corps to create a patch for his new Armored Force. This gave the Armored Force patch a historical significance, linking its origin with the Tank Corps. The War Department officially designated the insignia on Nov. 22, 1940. It was originally approved without the “Old Ironsides” tab. Part of the 1st Armored Division & Fort Bliss Museum collection. (Image courtesy of the 1st Armored Division & Fort Bliss Museum)
