henrikson1487 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Picked up this intresting looking sign today at an antique store. Not quite sure on the era. Appers to be hand painted though possibly with stencils. I couldnt see any other markings on it. Link to post Share on other sites

Illinois, maybe it from the days when the 31st Division was located in neighboring Indiana at Camp Atterbury during the Korean War era, this of course will be a WAG on my part Link to post Share on other sites
WWIIDADS Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 The 31st ID Artillery components were 116th(Florida NG), 117th(Alabama NG), and 118th(Georgia NG) FA when at Camp Wheeler, Macon, GA Link to post Share on other sites
henrikson1487 Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Heres a photo of the 118th Georgia NG field artillery, notice the unit flag has the same red and yellow color scheme as my sign. Possible its just a coincidence but maybe not. Link to post Share on other sites
