Interesting. My dad was in the 339th Infantry (Polar Bears) in Italy, WWII. He was also in the Polar Bear Association of WWII and served as a past President. It was in their bylaws to “disband” when the numbers got down to a set level (occurred in 2008). The Polar Bears of WWII set up a monument in 1992 dedicated to the 85th ID (338th and 339th) which is located in Camp Shelby, MS. Dad passed away Sep 29, ‘17 (age 92).
