nirvana Posted November 18, 2016 Share #1 Posted November 18, 2016 Another guidon that I picked up some time back. The unit was formed in May 1943 in Texas as a coastal artillery group. This was obviously an outdated idea, so the unit became a AAA battalion about a month later. They shipped overseas in July 1944 and ended up in France in August 1944, attached to the 9th Army, going across Europe until the war ended. I believe that they were equipped with 90mm guns. The flag has attached to it some sort of anniversary/reunion buttons. A link to a video interview of a veteran from the 131st. http://memory.loc.gov/diglib/vhp/story/loc.natlib.afc2001001.50331/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
