wooley12 Posted October 14, 2017 Share #26 Posted October 14, 2017 Nice work!! I have been trying to correlate the awards on my dad's jacket with what I can document and they come up short. He landed at both Gela and Salerno with the Rangers ahead of the main force and yet there are no arrowheads. There are 6 battles/campaigns listed on his discharge papers and only has 4 stars. Where it might make sense is that in the FSSF he drove an ambulance and light trucks and in 474th he was a light truck driver. Maybe had no dress Ike. No need for wearing medals. The Ike he wore home he got on the ship home from an FSSF/474th member that he had served with for two years had the job of Quarter Master on the liberty ship that brought them home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Bias Posted October 15, 2017 Share #30 Posted October 15, 2017 ABN, can you post pics of your KIA group? Kurt, good job with your restoration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne-Hunter Posted October 15, 2017 Share #31 Posted October 15, 2017 I was wrong. It did come with crossed rifles, but the photo actually shows arrows. Sorry for the confusion.
