Headquarters Detachment Service Command Unit 1111 is correct.
I have the overseas cap of a Major who was in the 1473rd Service Command Unit (=SCU), Special Training Unit Detachment.
He taught GIs how to read and write so they weren't catagorized as 4F due to their lack of writing and reading abilities.
Every Army installation in the Z.I. had it own uniquely numbered SCU during WWII (they were known as Corps Area Service Units - CASU - before the Service Commands were established in 1941 to free the Corps for tactical duty overseas).
The second digit in an SCU number corresponds to the Service Command area where the SCU is located.
In this case 1111 is First Service Command.
