Can anyone ID what unit he is from ?

Great photo. Looks like 442 attached to the 34th division wwii.

[USdog]

Yes, looks to be 34th division

[J_Andrews]

Make that the 100th Inf Bn (Sep), precursor to the 442nd RCT. The Bn went overseas and served as an attachment to the 34th, and th RCT formed AFTER it.

Agreed 100th inf Bn

 

Appears he has the 34th on the helmet and shirt.

 

Boy would that para helmet be a helmet to have(the 34th aint shabby either)

[Sgt. Boghots]

Ron, I'll take the Mod 42 he has in his hands, you take the Para helmet, and we'll both be happy !

Best regards, Paul.

Thanks so much for everyone's comments and replies.

I had no idea about the 100th inf bn. !!!!

That is awesome news.
