Unknown WWII US Army outfit in Pacific and Hawii - can you ID

[bunkerhillburning]

Hello.

 

Picked up a large group of photos with no captions save for a date written on the back of most. I am trying to identify the US Army unit based on what little info I can find in each photo. This unit spent a lot of time in Hawaii and one at least one Pacific Island which has seen a lot of combat. I am posting a few of the island scenes hoping that someone might recognize the landscapes / pillboxes etc.

 

In two photos dated February 1942 a triangle is seen - painted on canvas bags and on the side of a huge wooden box the soldiers are offloading. Painted on the box as best I can determine ' 51 GW4000 2952 Cuft 423 ' in the top left. In the center ' 2425 L ' with the triangle.

 

There are two baseball team photos taken after the unit has some a championship. The name on their t-Shirts is ' Blue Devils '. The only such name I can find for a baseball team is Duke University and of course the 88th Infantry but they were in the European theater.

 

If any of this looks familiar - please let me know!
