Silver Star numbers

[MPoorthuis]

Hi all, while doing research on the 16th Infantrymen who were awarded the Silver Star for actions in World War II, I stumbled upon some medal numbers. See below the ones I found with name, rank, ASN and unit affiliation of the recipient. Hope this will help someone trace back a medal in his/her collection to an indivuadal soldier. I might find more in the next couple of weeks. Best regards, Max
