joekool, You may have seen this already but if not it could be helpful...

There were many units with the number "308." Among them were-
Aero Squadron
Field Artillery Regiment
Cavalry Regiment
Ammunition Train
Engineer regiment
Field Signal Battalion
Sanitary Train
Tank Battalion
Several types of Quartermaster Corps Special & Technical Companies
Machinegun Battalion

During WW1, the system was changed so that all units using the same number would show the number on the "US" disk and the company letter where applicable on the branch device disk. This was to make supply of disks easier instead of having to make branch devices of every combination of letters and numbers. For example, all infantry company A's would wear an infantry disk with the letter "A" below crossed rifles and the regiment would be below the US on the other disk.

A double thanks to you Aarong81 !

The link and info in your response to *Swingbeepdig* lead me to this site http://www.cdsg.org/HDPSdata/14thCAR.htm so now my curiosity is satisfied about this found insignia.

Battery G, 14th Coast Artillery, (Active) was organized as the 150th Company of Coast Artillery, 1 August 1907 at Fort Worden, Washington, by transfer of personnel from the 62nd Company of Coast Artillery, 1 August 1907 at Fort Worden, Washington, by transfer of personnel from the 62nd Company of Coast Artillery. The unit was transferred to Fort Ward, Washington as the 150th Company (a Mine Company), 1 September 1907 and became the First Company, Fort Ward in July 1916. In August 1917 it was redesigned the Sixteenth Company, Puget Sound, and in 1922 again became the 150th Company of coast Artillery. On 1 July 1924 the unit became Battery G, 14th Coast Artillery and one month later was transferred to Fort Worden, at which time fort Ward was placed on a caretaker status.

HH all!
