WW1 (?) Portrait Unit?

 

 

I have a large portrait of what I believe to be a WW1 Doughboy

 

I would greatly appreciate any help identifying the unit patch shown below

 

Thank you

That's not a unit patch but a qualification patch used by the artillery for gun commander. See catalog no. 517 in Emerson's book on Army chevrons. (Page 370.)

Is there a shoulder patch? If so, overseas. Any overseas chevrons on the cuff?

I see neither SI nor o/s chevrons, so he was probably stateside unless the photos was taken before he went overseas.
