firefighter Posted September 29, 2017 Share #1 Posted September 29, 2017 AAF unit history. In the awards section I found this list. As you can see the one man listed with an assault credit has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted March 6, 2018 Share #2 Posted March 6, 2018 This unit landed on D-Day? Seems that those under where it say COMBAT INFANTRY BADGE were awarded it. Can't see how unless all these guys were former Stump Jumpers, who got reassigned because of wounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the service narrative say in the booklet in regards to campaigns? kinda strange right, if the unit landed on D-Day and only one guy gets the invasion arrow noted, the entire unit would have gotten it.
