Can anyone help identify this DUI?

1st Ordnance Battalion. Likely pre-WWII or early war based on the screwback.

[27Division18]

What division was this unit attached to during WW2?

[Salvage Sailor]

Don't know about their WWII service, but here's a story from a Korean War vet https://nmajmh.org/2017/09/save-the-salami-by-martin-sack/

1st Ord Bn shows in the Pacific in WWII, The Northern Solomons and Luzon, an Army Level Troop unit, even a Theater one? Doesn't show in XIV Corps Order of Battle for Luzon so maybe a 6th Army level unit?
