I would like to have a copy of citation that accompanied the Silver Star my second cousin, First, Lt. John N. Lowden was awarded in 1944 while serving with the 45th Infantry Division. I believe it was General Orders No.265. Thank you.

You are welcome. It was easy to find since I have transcribed all 768 extant General Orders issued by HQ, 45th. See screenshot of my Excel Worksheet. John also received the Bronze Star for Meritorious Service in Combat per GO 255, HQ, 45th, dated 3 November 1944.
