The link below is the 138th Machine Gun Battalion. The 138th Infantry Regiment was not attached to any Infantry Division. This regiment was removed from the 35th Infantry Division when the divisions were reduced from 4 regiments to 3 per division. This regiment may have existed and served in USA or temporarily attached to a division. Many of these unassigned units did not get a DUI or a crest approved by the Heraldry Division of the Army. There were no or very few DUI (Distinguishing Unit Insignia) pins issued or worn during WW1. They wore a bronze collar disc to identify the Regiment. Most likely it was a disc with crossed rifles and "138" over it. ALSO, many units had color variations of their Shoulder Patch to distinguish them. Some sources say that the 35th Division did NOT wear shoulder insignias before the armistice that ended WW1. The 35th Infantry Division did wear should patches at some time after WW1 that was the Santa Fe cross---very much like the WW2 patch. However these early patches had the colors were reversed so that the outline of the circle/cross were in the khakibackground. The voids between the circle/spokes were YELLOW. The center circle was divided into 4 sections and these were color-coded for different regiments and aritllery battalions. For the 138th Regiment, the top two sections were YELLOW and the lower two were BLUE. See LInks. One shows a painted Helmet with the 138 Regiment variation of the Cross. Link: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=36341&hl=138th The 138th was several units. The 1/138th Inf Regt was first assigned to the 35th Division and then later was assigned to the 76th Division (i think) and seen combat in Alaska.

What is information on the 251st Infantry Regiment in World War 2?
Try going to WWW.askjeeves.com Type in 251st Infantry. This will give hits to all the web sites that contain any information on the 251th. I did this for The USS Randolph and found a couple of people who knew my Grandfather during the war and a few people who didn't but helped me alot with my research. I checked the organizations of the Infantry Divisions that were formed in WW2 and the 251st Infantry Regiment was not in any of these divisions. If a regiment was not part of a division, then it was an independent unit and possible a training unit in the US. I checked the following reference for units that served in WW2 and Korean War and it does NOT list a unit by that name/identity. Dept of Army Pamphlet 672-1 "Unit Citiation and Campaign Participation Credit Register". From some "hits" on the internet, the 251st Infantry Regiment may have existed in World War 1 but I saw nothing but more inquiries.

A regiment is a military organization under one commander and its size and importance varied over the years and between countries and types of armies.

There were three Regiments in an Infantry Division. During the American Civil War, the Regiment was the main unit that a soldier was identified with. For example, the 56th Ohio Regiment. This regiment contained 10 companies of 100 men each or originally 1000 men. But many were smaller especially after casualties.
