Combat Infantryman Badge, Rifle 03 MM 32. Battles and Campaigns. New Guine GO 40 WD 45 Papuan GO 33 WD 45 Under decorations and citations there is a list that is self explanatory and then the this: AR 600-68 What is that? Also departed to Pacific Theatre 4/22/42 and departed for US 3/25/44. Can you identify which ships? 186th Infantry. Thanks for your help!
30. Heavy weapons. He was trained on heavy machine guns and mortars 31 Combat Infantry Badge He also earned Marksman with the rifle Can't help with any of the rest
I found some information. The GO stands for General Order and WD 45 is War Department 1945. So GO 40 WD 45 means General Order #40 issued by War Department 1945. I still haven't found the meaning of the GO #'s, but I'm still searching. Hope it helps, I was searching for some of the same info.
