US 38th Infantry Division Uniform

[Nottheface]

Hello,

I got this tunic with an ensemble of the standard US service dress. This Technician (fifth grade) appears to have been an infantryman in the 38th (Cyclone) Infantry Division, which largely took part in the liberation of the Philippines, Bataan is especially credited to their involvement. He also appears to have been attached to an Armored unit, but I'm unsure of which unit specifically. Enjoy.

That looks great. Have you looked up his laundry number?

There's a faint name and what may be a serial number written on the belt, but it's extremely difficult to make out clearly.

The laundry number is that number D7490 thats written on the back flap by the collar. Sorry I don't know the correct term for section of the jacket.
It also looks like there is more than one but the other is crossed out. Maybe you can decipher the name from the list on that site.
