Private Joseph Wisniewski likely purchased this banner from a local in Montabaur, Germany. Banners similar to this one were produced during the occupation after WWI for sale to Allied troops. This example features a unique insignia incorporating the First Division numeral “1” into the larger Third Army insignia. This is an unofficial design, but reflects the First Division’s parent command, the Third Army.
