The problem is that the answer to your question varies by war and by year--- units are always being re-assigned. So the fact that the 3rd...
It sort of looks like a British formation sign (equivalent to our shoulder sleeve patches).
Camp Wheeler, Georgia, was in fact used for infantry replacement training in 1941-42, and some references say it was the largest infantry training...

No problem with Safari.
Not my area, so all I can tell you is that it is a British made 25 pounder shell casing from 1941. I suspect there is NO WAY to find out who...

The Japanese bodies on mainland Alaska are (were?) at Fort Richardson National Cemetery, Anchorage area. There is a very nice monument to them....
Spina bifida is a naturally occurring birth defect which has been known for at least a century or two--- I seriously doubt that in the early 1900s...
Not at all-- I am a vet myself, and I have provided medical care for many vets. However, "the views of so many veterans" are simply not a...
There is no doubt that such children exist, and are dragged out for political purposes by the Vietnamese government frequently (as they did during...
