Help with DUI and Patch: 9th Coast Art. Dist. & 19th CA (HD)

[27Division18]

Can anyone help me ID these DIs and patch? Do they have anything to do with the 1341st Engineers?

[Old Marine]

The patch is the 9th Coast Artillery District.

DI is 19th CA (HD)

 

There is no know unauthorized patch or DI for the 1341st Engr Cbt Bn. They served in SWPTO.

Is the shoulder patch also for the 19th coast artillery (stationed in San Diego) or for the 9th coast artillery district (Boston)?

While active, the 9th Coast Artillery District encompassed the western continental United States.  The map below breaks down the areas of responsibility by district (1-4, 9)

I have been a collector and reenactor of the 19th CAC for about ten years. There is a whole group of us that restored one of the Battery Commander Stations for the 16 inch guns installed in 1943. I would love to see a full scan of the photo.

Here you go. I believe him to be Staff Sgt. James C. Hunt who served in the 19th CAC and the 1341st Engineer Bn. This photo came with Hunt's dogtag and discharge doc (tiny version)

Nice. Thanks very much

Thank you for the full scan. 

It would make sense that he served elsewhere. The 19th Coast Artillery was disbanded in 1944 and replaced by a single battalion to garrison Fort Rosecrans. Most of the regiment's soldiers were sent to other units overseas as replacements.
