This is the eight 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 398^th Infantry Regiment*. Please note that some decorations to members of the 398^th Infantry Regiment may have been cited in general orders of other commands. This index lists members of the 398^th Infantry Regiments that were awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge or the Combat Medic Badge by the 398^th Infantry Regiment. Combat Infantryman Badges and Combat Medic Badges are important, since the recipients of these badges are retroactively entitled to a Bronze Star Medal; under Change 13 to Army Regulation 600-45, Department of the Army, 4 November 1947.  I have made no attempt to list the Unit Awards, awards of specific Battle Stars, and Good Conduct Medals.

 How to read the sources: (GO#12,1945,398INF) is broken down as “GO” General Order “#” Number 12, 1945 “398INF” 398^th Infantry Regiment.

             * (GO#18,1945,398INF) is missing from the files at the National Archives.

Every effort has been made to minimize errors and misspelled names. An error may be attributable to the source document, or may have occurred while transcribing the names/units. Some of the original documents are of very poor print quality, making them difficult to decipher.
