S Sgt means Staff Sergeant. This was the soldier's rank, the insignia being three chevrons with one "rocker" at the bottom. Its one grade higher than a mere buck sergeant, which has three chevrons only.
1775 Svc Cmd mean the 1775th Service Command. If taken from the soldier's discharge papers this would be the last unit to which the soldier was permanently assigned. Its likely that he was assigned to this unit for most of his tme in the army. This unit appears to have been a veterinary inspection unit, tasked with inspecting animals purchased for meat to feed to the army, based at Fort Snelling, Minnesota. See page 191 of the attached link below for a mention of the unit.
