This may be a dumb question but was this Crest specific to any one Regiment or Division? Or was it for all Engineers?
No Q is too dumb.
I'm almost sure this was a DUI pin for a school. The Artillery had a similar pin for their basic school and also the Air Force. Once the student graduated, he would then be assigned to a specific unit.
Now the question is: would this pin be worn only by the staff of the school or would it be worn by the engineers who attended it. Most soldiers going through training would have a generic shoulder patch on their uniform. Ones going through Officer Candidate School would wear an "OCS" patch on their right sleeve. I don't think the students would wear this DUI pin; probably only the staff.
