A 2nd Armored Division 17th Armored Engineer GI in 1942 wears a non number Armored Forces PTC on his cap.

Anda one more from the same unit and around the same time, this one has been colorized, so the 2 there in the Apex of the PTC may have been added when it was colorized.

The 9th Inf Div PTC worn by Major John Frazee, 9th Avn Bn, 9th Inf Div, Dong Tam, July 1969, it may be a Beer Can, or it may be an old U.S. made one. Frazee also wears the We Try Harder button, an item recently IDed as a Avis Rent a Car button.

Another WWII  Air Transport Command PTC, has to be a record with most finds posted in this topic right LOL, a Stateside one with the war still ongoing we should think. Good shot of the khaki Shirt worn as an alterative and the EM Service cap 'Air Corps 'Crusher' look.

Definitely looks like we have another 2nd Cavalry Division PTC sighting, this in 1943.  WO James Johnson, we guess in the HQ of the Division, or in one of the Artillery Battalions or in one of the support units, Johnson is later transferred out to the 92nd Infantry Division, it's 599th Field Artillery Battalion.

Deep Throat comes through again, this on narrowing down Stace's War Record.

 His Draft Card, dated Oct. 16, 1940, shows that he was employed by
Detroit Michigan Edison Co., which at his age, 34, and education implies
that he probably  in some sort of management or technical capacity. As
he did not go on active duty until May 11, 1942, he might have been
deferred as a critical worker at the Detroit power factory.  In any
event, he was ultimately discharged Mar. 14, 1946, just short of 4 years
on active duty.  And, of course, we know his ultimate rank was
Lieutenant Colonel. But what was the nature of his duties?

Now I am going to indulge in one of my locally world famous WAGs: Stace
was not a hot shot pilot in command of a squadron or group in combat.
Here's Exhibit A:  Take a good look at the one photo of him that we
have: The angle is not great but he certainly does not appear to be
wearing pilot wings or any service ribbons over his left pocket, or any
other organizational insignia except for that rinky-dink patch type Army
Air Corps D.I.

Sorry, I have no Exhibit B to offer you but I will wrap up this WAG by
venturing to guess that Lt. Col. Stace never left Detroit as he was
performing vital duties as heavy bomber production ramped up at the Ford
factories there.

11th Airborne Division - 1946. This soldier probably did not serve with the division in combat but came along early during duty sometime after the spring of 1946 since he does not have the ribbon of the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal. Notice the embroidered jump wings and oval, Expert Infantryman Badge, World War II Victory ribbon and Army Of Occupation ribbon worn with the red to the wearer's right as was often done by soldiers on occupation duty in Japan.
