✅ SOLVED Need information on U.S. Army arm band. WW-2?

[dg39]

Just came across this arm band. Have never seen this type before.
Well made. Felt type material.
Also have one with a Red/Blue rectriangle with yellow 34 on it.
Both have same spec's.
17 inches long. 3-1/2 inches wide.
I do know for a fact, they are original. From an old collection.
Any one know anything?

It's an Armband for the Canadian 19th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) (Cental Ontario), the unit was active 06 November 1914 to 30 April 1919. Here's a link for more information on the unit.

Much older and not U.S...Interesting.
I just pulled out the 19th Cap Badge. That tie's that in perfectly..
I was going to post it but it all fall's into place.
Many thanks, Mike.
The Badge is impressive...And well defined.
What about the other?
Thanks

The other one is for the Canadian 34th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF), it's listed as a reunion armband so the other one is a reunion one also. See first link for information on the armband, 2nd link for unit information. Regardless if they are Battalion Reunion Armbands, no WWI veterans are alive today!

That explains the condition of the two. They were made post WW-1.
Very good!
