Rob,

The 997th Field Artillery Battalion was attached to the 69th ID. Did you find his DD-214? If so, the unit mentioned should be his last duty assignment.

G033WD45 means that the campaign was authorized by General Order 33 of the War Department in 1945.

Army Good Conduct Medal

European/African/Middle Eastern Campaign Medal

Does that picture show any writing on the front of the Jeep?
