Purple Heart Engraving Question

All,

 

Just picked this up and from what I could find on the forum and other collector sites this appears to be post wwii engraving around the Korean War time period. Is that correct? If so how long was this used for? I could only locate information on him on the WWII Enlistment website so not sure he was wounded in Korea or WWII. Thanks for the assistance.
