Field canvas sign

Post by old man » Wed Sep 27, 2017 3:29 pm

I came across this field sign, I do not know what era it is from or enough information to know where to look.
the best I can figure it out is at the bottom CP for command post.
anyone know how to read this? or where to look for information?

My best guess is A battery 3rd battalion 151st artillery/ 47th Infantry Division, CP Command Post.

You're correct. I'll add the symbol on the bottom left is howitzer and 105mm on the left 105mm

After a cursory look, it appears that 3-151 FA was active 1959-1968; see page 94 of this google book:
