I'm trying to find information on my great grandfather's service in WWII. My mom remembers him talking about liberating concentration camps, and my grandmother remembers that he was artillery and she thinks he trained at Fort Sill. I think that means he would have been in one of the artillery units for the 45th Infantry Division, but I don't know where to find a roster to check.
Hi, Paul.
According to my General Orders' Worksheet, I have a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star for
Albert J. Luterzo of the 179th Infantry Regiment of the 45th ID.
Here is the General Orders 181, HQ, 45th, dated 29 July 1944, showing his PH.
He belonged to I Company, 3rd Bn.
And here is his Bronze Star per General Orders 235, HQ, 45th, dated
14 October 1944, for "heroic achievement in action."
