Hi there
US Regiments/Battalions/Companies were not authorized pathes or scrolls , including the Ranger Bn's.
What they would of used were locally made scrolls and or patch of their own design, locally approved by their commander.
The unit they were currently assigned at the time would of been on their left shoulder and at the end of the war and latter the right shoulder patch would of had a combat patch , unsure of the date when this was introduced as it only became official well after the war.
The closest I can offer you as an example of a theatre made patch made for the 58th MP Co., Eighth Army 1960-mid 60's Japanese made,false embroidery.
Again this was unauthorized and locally worn with commanders permission.
I just received this week!
So for WWII it would be a Italian theatre made scroll over a US or Italian Theatre made patch.
Fifth Army Italian made Woven SSI are common and not expensive.
Maybe I should of reversed the patches for calrity sake, hope its not confusing.
