under battles and campaigns ( this part is garbled looks like CO 33&40 WD 45 )
That reference still bothers me. I just had someone email me who is researching their family member's records. The discharge papers had a reference to GO33&40 WD45 . And he was a member of the 85th Division (we think). The only thing I can guess is that this was a General Order that issued the Victory Medal or some other medal to all the troops.
Anyone know what this WD 45 refers to??
