Found this today while cleaning out his wife's home. Charles E. Harvey, Sgt. 9136th TSU QMC ASFTC. I can not find any info on this unit.

His awards are EAME w/ 4 Bronze service stars, American Defense Service Ribbon, Purple Heart, GCM. Wounded on 15 Dec. 1943, Italy.

 

What I have questions about is the Data plate. What is it from? On the back is engraved "6-10-44 ANZIO EXPRESS" with a gun tube.

Very interesting group. Your man would have been assigned to a Truck Company. Unfortunately I don't think there are many unit histories for the QMC related units.

I know that when the guns were captured, they were shipped back to the U.S. I wonder if his unit was apart of the move. You are right, there is almost no info on Trans Co. for WWII or Korea.

I just learned that TSU stands for Technical Service Unit. Maybe the data plate came off of one of the rail cars that was used to support the Anzio Express.
