shellman825 Posted May 4, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 4, 2017 Any help on this thanks, I pick this up a few days ago in a box, lots of pictures and a unnamed Purple Heart The pictures are of Cpl. Nicholas J Russo Co B 40th Tank BN, 7th Armored DIV. KIA on April 13, 1945 He was a Medium Tank Crewman I pulled up a High School picture on the web and he is the same guy in the pictures, a couple pictures has is name where he wrote on them. What I am looking to find out is about the Purple Heart He was KIA but this one that came with all these pictures is unnamed, is it possible that he was WIA before he was KIA and was giving this PH. I listed a couple pictures here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanormalTrooper Posted May 4, 2017 Share #8 Posted May 4, 2017 Nice grouping and medal. Not sure about the PH engraving (or lack thereof in this case). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KASTAUFFER Posted May 4, 2017 Share #9 Posted May 4, 2017 Its possible he was wounded prior to when he was killed. His posthumous award would have certainly been named. Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
