Oooops!!
Further to my last, I was incorrect in the orientation of the 42 nd Div patch. My original reference book is wrong. I have since found out that the orientation of the flat edges of the shoulder insignia is at the 12 and [B]9[B] o'clock position (just in case you were planning to put it some sort of display).
Also, the Div is part of the National Guard, is headquartered in NY with units spread across several States and is still active.
