I'm a new member looking for info on my dads combat history with the 206th Military Police Company. He did receive a Bronze Star with Oak Leaf Clusters. He was in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, France, Austria and Germany. He served from February 43 to the end and was discharged in November of 45. I have the Bronze Star but not the clusters or details to go along with it.

Hello!

What a shame that a wonderful member of the Forum, Larry Duzel, is not here to help you. He passed away just 6 months ago.

Larry's Dad was a MP and I know was in N. Africa. Larry's sign on name was Son of MP and he had a very intimidating picture.

Maybe somewhere in his posts there will be some useful information for you.

I hope you have some stories and maybe some photos from your Dad. What fascinating things he must have experienced and seen in some of those incredible places.

We will all be eager to find out what you learn - and how he earned the Bronze Star - that is such a big deal!

All the best,

Jean
