One interesting fact is that the reason the shoulder patch only goes half way to the shoulder was to memorialize the half of the division's soldiers who were killed or wounded in the war. Also the patch was created locally and each was individually made by a seamstress as the government had no way to produce and then issue this patch. Nice uniform!!!
