Default US cloth

The first is 78th US Inf div and third is 9th US Inf div but the Middle one eludes me lm afraid, you would assume 7th something, but cannot find it under US items. Also it is not machine edged as most US badges are supposed it suggests it might be from another country, mabye French?

The middle badge appears to be 66th Medium Regiment R.A. (A duplicate of 57th (Lowland ) Medium Regiment R.A. (TA)) worn whilst serving with 3rd Infantry Division circa 1942.

P.B.

The first one upside down and the third one should have the blue on top.

Answer given in the first thread on these badges. Except for the 7 which I just said I liked.

From Peter:- The middle badge appears to be 66th Medium Regiment R.A. (A duplicate of 57th (Lowland ) Medium Regiment R.A. (TA)) worn whilst serving with 3rd Infantry Division circa 1942.
