The Lapel Button is the Honorable Discharge pin. The soldiers called it a "ruptured duck". Anything which took flight in a big hurry during the war was said to take off like a ruptured duck. Then when they saw the pins, which were not too artistic, depicting a somewhat potbellied eagle in flight, they naturally called it a ruptured duck.
AW 107 is Article of War number 107. The Articles of War are the military laws which govern a soldiers conduct. AW 107 specifies that time a soldiers spends in the guardhouse or the brig, or time when he is AWOL, does not count toward his obligated time of service. This did not matter much in WWII because all soldiers were in "for the duration", until the war was won. It was mentioned on discharge papers in case the soldier returned to military service or continued in other Federal employment, because the time lost under AW 107 would not count toward the years needed for retirement. It means the soldier got in some minor difficulty while in the service, nothing serious.
