Hello all, New here. My grandfather received this “football” trophy made out of a 105mm round. It says “ Red Circle Division Football Team 1945”. With 71 in a red circle, then 3rd and 7th Army Champions, Augsburg, Germany. Again it’s a 105mm M14 round cut down with a lid and the inscribed above. I can’t really find any info about football or teams anybody have any ideas? I have pics, but I am having trouble uploading.
There might be something in the 71st Division history. You can download it here. The history of the 71st Infantry Division I've edited thread title to denote it is a US Army unit.
Thanks Owen! I probably need to read it a little more thoroughly, definitely a good bit about baseball/softball-a blurb about football and a picture!
