Service medals and good conduct medal were awarded in the millions during WWII. Most WWII veterans received several of these medals, this combined with the fact most of these medals were awarded without any documentation other than an annotation in the recipients service file, makes it impracticable at this time to attempt to compile indices for these awards.
