EARLY POST WAR VETERANS DOUBLE CORPS BADGE -
Enameled badge with an early T-bar pin on reverse with the initials
W.R.V.A. Don't know what unit this is - could not find a synonym for
a unit that would match these letters (but if you know the badge is
worth about a $100 more) The Unit was in the Second Division of the
22nd Army Corps (this was stationed around D.C.) and of course the
shield in the middle is that of the 3rd Division of the 9th Army Corps
. Would make a great project to see if you can cross reference the
units to find which one was in both.
