which badge is this ?

[Wim]

Hello,

Does any of you know perhaps to which unit this badge belonged.

From what I gather, this soldier later went on to a Anti-Aircraft Artillery unit.

Any ideas ? Thanks.

Regards,

Wim

Rosognoli says that there were 9 "Service Commands", each administering a section of the United States. The 1st Service Command, which administered the New England states had a WHITE DIAMOND with a BLUE Roman numeral I in the center. That's all I see that looks like yr badge. Is yrs blue or khaki in the center? I can't tell from the photo. If blue, then it is definitely 1st Service Command; if not, maybe a variant badge, or something else entirely, but I'd tend to think 1st because another badge that looked so much like it would be confusing!

My two centimes worth.

Thank you very much Peter, will follow this up. This must surrely be it.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. And while I am at it, had a go on Google just a minute ago and found the following image.

Surrely this is the same badge.
