    I believe this is from the US military but difficult to date the time period:WW2 or Korean War ?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    It appears to be a US army medic's armband. I would suggest that it has nothing to do with the Red Cross organisation because the Red Cross is a non military and non governmental organisation.

    The "Red Cross" symbol is sometimes used to indicate "First Aid"/"Medical Facilities" or personnel.
