WWII U.S. Army Advanced Base European Theatre Patch

Here is an English made example of the ETO patch. Fully embroidered on wool. It is mint and one of the very best I have had the workmanship is excellent. The European Theater of Operations, United States Army (ETOUSA) was a United States Army formation which directed US Army operations in parts of Europe from 1942 to 1945. It referred to Army Ground Forces, United States Army Air Forces, and Army Service Forces operations north of Italy and the Mediterranean coast, in the European Theater of World War II. It was bordered to the south by the North African Theater of Operations, US Army (NATOUSA), which later became the Mediterranean Theater of Operations (MTOUSA).
