History of the 337th Engineer Combat Battalion
#59

Hello,

 

My grandfather served in the 209th Coastal Artillery (According to the Regiment book he was in the 2nd Battalion).

 

From what my dad tells me, he was only in the European Theater when he served, however his service ribbons are from the Pacific/Philippine Campaign: Good Conduct, Asiatic/Pacific Campaign (w/2 bronze stars), American Campaign Medal, American Defense Medal, and Philippine Liberation Medal.

 

Can anyone tell me why he wouldn't have any ribbons from the European Campaign and only the Pacific Theater? According to what I have found on this site the 3rd Battalion of the 209 was reassigned to the Pacific (as the 337th), but not the 2nd Battalion.

 

I appreciate any help you can provide,

TD
