The listing of each award comes complete with the original citation.The first awards made to US soldiers were to those attached to the British Army, Corporal Koons and Second Lieutenant Loustalot of the 1st Ranger Battalion, US Army, who were awarded the Military Medal and a Posthumous Mention in Despatches respectively for their actions in the Dieppe raid in August 1942, just eight months after the US entered the war.With the D-day Normandy invasions of June 1944 the number of recommendations for awards shot upwards, and many soldiers were honoured for their role in the liberation of France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and finally Germany itself. Adding the Pacific campaign to the total, the result was over 1,500 awards - all of which are listed in this book.Finally, the list includes Honorary awards made to US War correspondents who reported the Second World war for the folks back home in the USA - including such famous names as 'new York Times' reporter Drew Middleton, and CBS broadcaster Ed Murrow - who both got Honorary OBEs.

Some 115 illustrations of awards prior to 1800 are set out with a most informative text, which often includes warrants, decrees and citations. Also detailed are other gallantry and service rewards such as Jewels, Chains, Swords, Badges and Presentation Scarves.
