WW1 era RPPC of a woman wearing a soldiers tunic top. The tunic is patched on the shoulder, but I am unsure of the unit. Lower near the cuff is a 3rd Army Occupation patch.
The two women appear to be on a rooftop hear where pigeons are raised. I am not sure of the message meant with the image or if it was just a shot of fun?

Thanks chris and amber.

Any thoughts on the patch chris?
scott
I think there is a shadow over the front edge of the patch, and that it is actually circular shaped. If I’m right about that, then I think it’s the patch of the 89th Division.

Thanks chris-- I agree it is the 89th!
I don't know why I couldn't see it. I have an 89th uniform grouping, so it should have been an easy ID for me.

Nice photo Scott. I Agree, 89th division. I have seen several variations of the 89th division WWI shoulder patch......here are a few
