Help with ID'ing this WW2 DUI - 893rd TD Battalion

[dan_the_hun84]

Hello- looking for some help- on a WW2 Ike

 

possible chemical unit?

The closest I found was 69th Infantry, but that doesn't jive with the rest of the uniform being artillery and the 69th never seeing combat. I am interested to know if it is connected to a non-divisional arty battalion, though the blue enamel does not scream arty to me.

This is for the 893rd Tank Destroyer Battalion

Great ID! Thank you, it's always tough without a motto.

 

Dan - there is a end-of-war unit history / roster and unfortunately I do not see the name in the uniform on the PH list or the full roster. I'm not sure why as it looks like an honest uniform.

Yeah I was hoping for a bit of luck too- as through as that unit history is I am wondering if the owner transferred IN to the 893rd after being wounded with a different unit- or maybe it was a jacket trade situation- who knows - lack of a TD SSI is a little odd too- usually those guys were pretty proud of their affiliation.
