Any info on these unit markings?

Let me give a stab here and see just how close I get.

From what little I do know, but am learning I think this is from the 9th company of the 139th infantry regiment. I'm lost on the "C.". I wanna say if it was a number, it would be the weapon number, but not real sure being a letter.

Well, thats my first time taking a first stab at calling what it says. Did I make a passing grade folks. Tell me if I was going in the right direction. I'm curious!

Thanks

Thanks Skeeter. I think you did well for a first stab at it, but coming from me that holds little weight as I have no knowledge of this at all.
My best guess was 139th regiment and that the "c" perhaps stood for cavalry, which from some info I found was active from 1914-1919 when it was disbanded.
Guess we'll find out eventually how close or far from correct we both are.
