Hi Marion,
Hope you are well. I am good. Last weekend I went up to Canada (New Brunswick) with my family to see my family (that was kind of a pun on words - LOL). Anyhow while there I was seraching online for more information on the 106th/424th and come across this photo from the 106th Infantry yearbook. Guess who is in it? Yep, my grandfather. It turns out he was in 2nd Bn Comp G (that is at least when this picture was taken). Unfortunately you cannot see any patches. It is funny he always sat like that with his hands crossing, This picture was taken July 1944, so that means he was at Camp Atterbury Indiana at that time. The 106th departed for the ETO in October 1944.
