My grandfather was, I believe, in the Army in WWII. He just turned 91 and still has a great sense of humor. He's also not the type to sit around and wax nostalgic about getting malaria in New Guinea let alone any of the combat he saw in WWII. He does have this picture hanging on the wall:

Never being in the military, I have no idea how to interpret the wording at the bottom of the picture so that I can affectively search military records. I have no idea where to start the search, nor could I guess at the abbreviations that might be used. From what I've been told, my grandfather ran supplies via mules. I adjusted the contrast on the pictured held by the center fellow and it does appear to be a pack mule.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt
