Heard back from Pat. Sorry, no good news...
Marion Chard:
Sorry, no match for your query nor a date of death for FOSKO:
- no match for family name FOSKO in the death or POW records of the 34th division
- no match for a serial number containing the string segment ...3573...
- no match for family name FOSKO in the American Battle Monuments Commission WW II records
- Generally the Infantry Regiments in WW II each had three Infantry Battalions: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
- The 2nd Infantry Battalions generally consisted of the "E", "F", and "G" Rifle Companies, and an "H" Heavy Weapons Company.
- The Infantry Regiment and each of its Infantry Battalions also has their own Headquarters Company.
- General Orders, each with their issue numbers, sequence, date, and subject might be issued at the battalion, regiment, and division level for their own needs.
FYI: the map location or place name where such an artifact is found would also help us to establish a possible 'story' for its history and date. Thanks, and keep digging.
