1173 Engineer Combat Group - Researching my great grandather

[Brendan]

Update after quite some time.

My medals and citations request through the national archives was responded to a few months back and replacement medals will be issued!

• WWII Victory Medal
  
• American Campaign Medal 
  
• European-african-middle eastern campaign medal
  
• American Defense Service Medal
  

Unfortunately, the Silver Star still remains a mystery. I need to reference the National Archives letter to see how many campaign stars they are issuing on the replacement European-african-middle eastern campaign medal as well, since that was another discrepancy between the paperwork and the uniform.  It seems like morning reports may be the best bet now!
