If you mean the 27th Infantry Regiment, their nickname is the "Wolfhounds". The shoulder patch is a black rectangle, short sides being the top and bottom, black with a large dog's head (a wolf hound) in profile, looking left. The dog's head, the border of the rectangle, and the regimental motto below the dog's head are in yellow. The motto is "nec aspera terrant" (Fear no Difficulties, often said to be No Earthly Fear). The Regiment picked up the nickname while serving in the "Polar Bear Brigade" in Siberia just after WWI, for its relentless pursuit of the Bolsheviks.
If you mean the 27th Infantry Division its a khaki-bordered circle with a red circle inside, and within the red circle are the letters "NY" worked into a monogram (for the divisions basis as the New York National Guard), and also within the red circle are stars representing the constellation Orion.

What is the 27 US Army infantry?
Usually if a soldier said he was in 'the 27th Infantry" he was referring to his regiment. The 27th Infantry was one of the three infantry regiments in the 25th Infantry Division. The 25th ID was in Hawaii, at Schofield Barracks, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The Japanese also strafed Schofield Barracks and bombed a mess hall at Schofield Barracks. The 25th ID went on to fight on Guadalcanal and Luzon, in the Philippines. The shoulder patch of the division is in the shape of a taro leaf, in red, with a yellow lightening bolt on it. Its nickname is "Tropic Lightning" or the "Pineapple Division", because some of its units were drawn from the old Hawaiian Division. The 25th ID also served in Korean and Vietnam.Sometimes civilians will refer to an infantry division the same way a soldier did his regiment, in which case they will say "the 27th Infantry" when the really mean the 27th Infantry Division. There is a 27th Infantry Division, and in peacetime it is the New York National Guard. The 27th ID served in France in WWI and elements of it served in the Pacific in WWII, on Saipan and Okinawa.
Insignia patchs from the 27th infantry division of the US army?
You need to ask a question for it to be answered. If you want to see what it looks like (as well as read up on it), there's a pretty comprehensive article about it on Wikipedia (see related link '27th Infantry Division (United States) on Wikipedia'). If you actually want to buy the patches, they shouldn't be difficult to obtain, seeing as it's still in existence. If you're in the state of New York, any military surplus store should carry them. If you're not, there's plenty of online retailers who can mail it to you. If you're in the NY National Guard, your unit should provide you with them.
What is the meaning of the 27th infantry division patch?
Many US Army divisions have their origins in the WWI era, including the 27th ID. In peacetime, the 27th ID is the New York National Guard, which accounts for the "NY" on the patch. The divisions created for WWI all got nicknames, and the soldiers of the 27th chose "Orions" for theirs. This was a play on words based on the name of the general commanding the 27th ID, General O'Ryan. The stars on the blue background on the division patch are the constellation Orion.
Is the us army third infantry regiment assigned to a division?
Not in WW2. Before 1939, each US Army Infantry Division had 4 infantry regiments. This proved to be too large for use on the battlefield. So the size the division was reduced and one regiment was removed. So the 3rd Infantry Regiment could have been part of a Division before then. However, during WW2 the 3rd Infantry Regiment was not part of an infantry division. Source: http://www.custermen.com/ItalyWW2/ArmyOrg/OrgChart/Divisions.htm

What is the Insignia of 40 Indian artillery division?
Are you sure you have the correct unit? There usually were no "artillery division". This Q was posted under WW2 and USA. I think you are referring to Indian units of the British Army. Maybe you mean the "divisional artillery of the 40th Indian Infantry Division", meaning the artillery that were assigned to the 40th Division. That is my guess. In that case, they would wear a cloth shoulder insignia of the 40th Division. But I'm not positive that there was a 40th Infantry Division.

What kind of rifles are on the infantry crossed rifles?
The regulation US Army Infantry insignia consists of two crossed model 1795 Springfield flintlock muskets of .69 caliber. This was the US Army's first US government made & issued shoulder arm. This infantry insignia was officially adapted by the US Army in 1922. From about 1875 until 1922, the US Infantry used the crossed rifles that were issued to the US Infantry at the time. Everytime the US Army adopted a new rifle, the Quartermaster would have to issue a new infantry crossed rifle insignia to match the new rifle. For example when the Army adapted the model 1903 bolt action Springfield in 1903...crossed 1903 Springfield insignia's had to be issued. This all ended by the new 1922 regulation.
