Good catch Peter (I missed that one)

The code is most likely S6 which belonged to 79TCS (436TCG) but it does not take us very far. Last home base in Europe was in France and in Aug 1945 it had returned to the States.

Since what we are looking at is a collecting point where it seems various troops from different countries most likely have come together to return home, it does not have to be a units "home base" as such, so Scott might be perfectly correct.
