Do you know of a way to find out which battalion / company my Grandpa served in before the re-org? Would the 2nd battalion have earned the bronze arrowhead if they weren't part of the initial wave?
Hi: You will have to refer back to your original post and the suggestions that were given to you previously regarding the acquisition of records. :-) The archived records will include rosters.
The unit as a whole received the bronze arrowhead. If he participated in the landing, then he would have been entitled to it.
