Ok, this one has me stumped anyone have any ideas??

Got me stumped, maybe it's a WWII Cavalry Brigade or Group HQ Guidon, there was a 113rd Cavalry Group, but obviously no 1133rd.

I'm going to take a guess and say that it's the 1133rd Signal Detachment. Also, Signal Corps colors are red and white. I've never seen a Cavalry guidon that has that type of pattern.

Signal Corps Branch of Service colors are orange and white, not red and white.

MPage's guess got me to think maybe another Branch that had a Red and White as their Branch colors, that would of been Engineers.

 

But as we see clearly it would not as this is their Guidon.

 

 

So the mystery remains.

Whooo, just checked Stanton's WWII Order of Battle, there was a 1133rd Engineer Combat Group in WWII. It got over to the ETO very late and seen no operational service, it was then shipped out to the Pacific after V-E Day, again no action as we dropped the bomb, it's inactivated in the Philippines Jan 25 1946.

 

Now whether this one here is related????

Yeah also it just dawned upon me that a detachment wouldn't have an HQ anyway (I guess).
