The 101st Infantry 26th Division as seen here in 1940, he's a Colonel, so he must be the regiment's C.O. unfortunately I haven't been able to ID him.

And Wing's boss Major General John H. Hester, Division Commander 43rd Division, late summer 1941, Hester was a regular officer, he would be replaced by John R. Hodge another regular, who in turn was replaced by Wing, the Vermont National Guard Officer, Wing leads the division for the rest of the war, garnering high praise and having his last name  added as a nickname for the division "WINGED VICTORY".

1st Lieutenant Andrew W.H. McKenna, Company L 121st Infantry, 30th Division 1941. Andrew McKenna would wind up being transferred out to a unit titled the 939th APS Battalion (Do not know what kind of unit a APS is), and ultimately serving in the 83rd Infantry Division, Company M 330th Infantry in the ETO, he would return to the Georgia national Guard after the war and would rise to Brigadier General retiring in 1973.

And Andrew McKenna's Brother  William McKenna, a 1st Lieutenant in Company F of the Gray Bonnet Regiment in 1941, William McKenna interestingly enough remained in the Gray Bonnet Regiment in the war, in the ETO and before, it being now a part of the 8th Infantry Division, and would rise to be Captain, Company F, Commanding sometime in 1943. William McKenna in KIA, hit by a sniper in the Roer Area on Christmas Day 1944, the 8th Infantry Division being on the defensive up there due to the Ardennes Offensive.

A Cloth Variant on the garrison cap of the 57th Infantry (Philippine Scouts) as worn in 1941 by three officers of the Regiment, L-R: Lt. Olson, Col. Edmund Lilly (CO), and Lt. Langdon. (Photo from member VeeVee)

The cloth version worn by the unit in the PI has a rounded scroll as opposed to the metal version above.

This PDF shows the HQ and Staff of the 33rd Division wearing the Unit Crest on the Garrison Cap, it's their Camp Forrest Yearbook of 1941 and has full rosters with portrait of soldier, there are so many portraits to post individually, so you can go thought them here.
