      Thanks to everyone that provided their thoughtful responses. I’m always learning, every day, and now I get to tuck this knowledge away.  I do go to all the estate sales in my area; I guess I’ve never really looked at the military stuff left behind. I knew a little bit about these artillery shell lamps, but I was mainly interested in the inscription. My ex was in the USMC, I knew about the “I love me” walls😊 Thanks again, much appreciated!

      They were made by S Froelich and A. Reid. My example is named to LTC Howard G Kirgis. He is known fir accepting surrender of Japanese in Dec of 1945 on Saipan.   Japanese Imperial Army Captain Sakee Oba surrenders his Samurai sword to Lieutenant Colonel Howard G. Kurgis(sic) USMC, at Saipan, Mariana Islands on Saturday morning, December 1, 1945. Oba and 46 other Japanese soldiers and sailors finally gave up after hiding out in the jungles and coral caves of Saipan for almost 17 months. They were the last of the once-mighty force of 30,000 Japanese military personnel either killed or captured since U.S. forces invaded Saipan on June 15, 1944.

      The rooster patch was adopted by the US Army Ambulance Service. In 1919, it was explained in the request to GHQ AEF for adoption of a patch that the the rooster was the symbol of France and appropriate for the Ambulance Service since its units were in service with French Army organizations.
