correct order of division and unit

I'm making a medal display case for my grandfather's WWII medals and badges and I'm not sure the correct order of his unit and division for the name plate I'm having engraved. He was a 2nd Lt. in the ARMY 33rd division 136th infantry Co B/G. I've seen it a couple different ways with division first and division last. What is the proper way to list it?

 

ghertz, good to hear your building a desplay for your grandfather, he (or the family)will appreciate it.
Normally a unit discription begins at the botton and works up. In other words, Company, battalion, Regiment, Division. The bronze plate should read, 2nd Lt. Name, Co. B/G, 136th Infantry Regiment, 33rd Infantry Division. It would be nice to learn what battalion of the 136th he was in and add it. When someone reads a history of an outfit, what one battalion of a regiment does could be a lot different than what the others do, etc. Post a picture when you finish.

 

He was in the first (Co B) and second (Co G) battalion. He was in first battalion Co B until the end of Luzon when he got a battlefield commission to 2nd Lt of second battalion Co G. I've got the display case and all the medals and I'm still working on how I want to lay it out. I've attached a picture of my current layout, feel free to comment.

I'm also making a book in iphoto to go along with the display with pictures, both personal and historical, maps and a write up of everything I know about where he was when and what battles his company was involved in. I've got most my information from his officers qualification card and the history of the 33rd division book.

 

grandpa's officer qualification card had the general orders for most of his awards and I was able to get copies of the original general orders from the national archives and some from the army awards branch. A lot of interesting research. I'm also going to do something similar for my dad who was in vietnam and my wife's grandfathers who were in the navy in WWII.

 

Hi Ghertz, that is a very nice display

 

since there was some interest in the finished product I thought I'd post a picture. I really liked how it turned out.

 

ghertz--I really like how you put the medals on one side and the ribbons, dog tags and badges on the other separated by the picture. Makes it interesting and looks uncluttered. I'm going to try that on the next one I make. Along with the book, I don't think it can get much better.
