This is the seventh in a series of indexes of all infantry regiments and independent infantry battalions of the US Army in WWII. Others will be published as they are completed.
This work includes all decorations cited in the general orders of the 397th Infantry Regiment. Please note that some decorations awarded to members of this regiment may have been cited in the general orders of other commands. This index lists all members of the 397th Infantry that were awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge or the Combat Medic Badge by the 397th Infantry. These awards are important, since the recipients are retroactively entitled to a Bronze Star medal under Change 13 to Army Regulation 600-45, Department of the Army, 4 November 1947. Unit Awards, awards of specific Battle Stars, and Good Conduct Medals are not listed.
