Help with identifying patches

[serialins0mniac]

Looking for help on identifying these patches and the ribbon bar.. A way to know age of them?

Almost all of the patches you can identify by 'Googleing' WWII US shoulder patches.
- Here is one of the better pages I've found:

Division insignia of the United States Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I only know the 'US Army Commendation Medal' (center) and the
'US WWII Victory Medal' on the ribbon bar.........

To KMMorris: I was under the impression members of this site liked posts where they could share their knowledge. At least that's been my experience with this great site up until now. I by no means was trying to avoid researching these items. I find that I need a head start with doing the research and then I go off and do my own. I'm new at collecting for only about 2 years so I don't know much about anything. I just know I love the history behind older military items. And I find this site wonderful because I get to learn new things every week. I guess some members find it insulting? who knew..

the bottom right is the Chrysler Division,

That one is actually the patch for the 5th Corp.

I think the blue and white one (looks like the Chrysler logo) in the bottom right is US Army V Corps.

Gday Phil,
Was sitting on an old page and did not notice your reply.
All the best mate

Although I did make the 'suggestion' of self research, I did not intend to be harsh
or offensive, and I apologize if I came across that way. There are so many other
US patches that WWII US SSI (shoulder sleeve insignia) patch ID is rather
simple - but it all takes time to learn.

Today thankfully, the internet provides answers to so many things
with the push of a key, where in the past it took even more
time and effort, as well as a keen interest.

I see no harm in asking, and I would never want to discourage
anyone from entering the hobby or furthering their
knowledge of militaria.........
