Charles D Guy - 180th Inf G Co

[Custermen]

This means that these campaigns were declared (authorized, defined)

by General Order of the War Department in 1945.

 

Of course---the War Department. You can't go much higher in command than that. Since it was issued in 1945, I would not think that refers to the EAME Campaign Ribbon. Probably refers to the Victory Medal.

But his papers did refer to 2 orders, No 33 & 40, so maybe the other one was the Po Valley Battle Star for the EAME.

Great info. Got any more???
