Found this piece last week. Went to a ladies house to pick antiques for my shop. She had a 2' x 2' cork message board she had been gluing stuff to, mostly trinkets and patriotic, 4th of July type items. Saw this attached and ask her if she would sell it, she agreed and just pulled it off of the board. That was when I saw the names on the back. I posted this on the Facebook page and several members commented and helped with the names. One member was able to research and it looks like these guys belonged to the 506th FG. You just never know what you might find stuck to a board, out back in the shed. A friend used a filter, that is why the last image is a rose color, it made the names easier to decipher.

Yes that is the unit those are attributed to; have seen a few of those on Ebay over the years. 

 

Nice piece,
