Original period manufacture. White cotton chain stitched numerals on feldgrau wool backing material. The backing material is not matching, being a slightly different shade of dye. IR 112 served with the 38th Infantry Division during WWII, raised in 1941, serving as Atlantic Coastal defense in France until 1943, when it was sent to southern Russia, where it was virtually destroyed that summer. It was never reformed, and its survivors assigned to other units.
