The Decoy Doughboy Souvenir Edition -- Printed in Czechoslovakia May 23, 1945. -- Publishes by and for the men of the 18th Combat Team. -- First Infantry Division, U. S. Army. Evolution CP signs Reveal close Cooperation The first CP signs of the tank company attached to Combat Team 18 were of the prosaic type: "Villain Baker CP". After a few months the new CP signs had addad to them in parentheses: "Villain Baker (Decoy) CP". Towards the close of the fighting, new sighs began to appear: "Decoy Villain (Baker) CP". "A mutual compliment" said Lt. Col. Williamson, regimental commander, in commenting on the "Decoy Villain" signs. And to the members of Villain Baker tank-fighter teams, the word "Decoy" means to them just as much as Villain Baker.
