88th Infantry Division:
The Blue Devil Division also The Cloverleaf Division.

The 88th Division was activated as a component of the Army
of the United States on July 15th, 1942, with Headquarters
at Camp Gruber, Oklahoma. After one change of station and
participation in the 1943 Louisiana maneuvers, the Division
embarked for North Africa in December of 1943 and landed at
Casablanca before moving to Magenta, Algeria, for additional
combat training. On February 6th, 1944, the 88th arrived in
Naples and proceeded to the Piedmont d'Alife area in the
mountains north of Naples for training.

The shoulder patch worn by the Division is based on a WW I
design approved by the AEF on November 12th, 1918. The basic
design of the patch is a clover leaf which in turn forms two
figure "8's" for the Division's number. Each leaf of the clover
represents one of the four states from which WW I personnel
were drawn.
