New to me Colt M1917

[browningautorifle]

I guess what I was really asking was if writing a name or battle locations and dates was "a thing" soldiers did, Has anyone seen this before?

I had a Krag school gun that had obviously been a rifle before and it had names of ports and Chinese cities written inside the stock under the barrel.
