These lists were composed during the war, after the Normandy and Market-Garden battles. By the time the awards
were made, some soldiers had been promoted and thus the rank indicated may or may not have been the rank at the
time of the battle. Also, during war, some mistakes of spelling or serial numbers were made, so please
keep this in mind when reviewing the lists.
The Bronze Arrowhead Award list (denotes participating in glider landing or assault - to be worn on the European-African-Mediteranean
Campaign Ribbon) includes both officers and enlisted men who were awarded the bronze arrowhead for those landings.

and the airfield from which they would be departing.
