manchu57 Posted March 28, 2014 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2014 Hello, Picked up this DUI, cannot find it in any of my books. Can someone help me in ID what unit this is? I could be wrong, but I have a feeling it is Coastal Artillery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted March 28, 2014 Share #3 Posted March 28, 2014 The 376th Infantry as Tankpatches has IDed, it was a unit of the 94th Division, Army Reserve in Massachusetts from 1921 on, it's DI was approved 26 March 1925. In WWII it continued it's service with the now designated 94th Infantry Division, the Regiment's 1st Battallion was awarded the Distiguished Unit Citation (later known as the Presidential Unit Citation) for action in Germany, no location given, must of been differant actions for a few weeks running in the advance into Central Germany. By the way what era is this DI? the markings and attachments on the rear will tell us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
