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.

What does the symbol of a black cat mean on a desert rat's uniform?
The 7th Armoured Division, aka "Desert Rats", wore a patch that was a BLACK square with a RED rat with a long tail. There was also a Brigade that wore a similar patch with a GREEN desert rat image. The square RED patch with a silouette of a BLACK cat is the patch for the 56th 'North London' Infantry Division. I think this is the patch that you refer to. For an example of this patch, see this link. http://www.custermen.com/ItalyWW2/ArmyOrg/BritishOrg.htm

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.
