Note 1: The 442nd "Go For Broke" Regimental Combat Team and its 100th "Purple Heart" Infantry Battalion were assigned or attached successively to the 34th Infantry Division (Naples-Foggia, Rome-Arno, Anzio), the 88th Infantry Division (Rome-Arno), the 36th Infantry Division (Rhineland), and the 92nd Infantry Division (North Apennines, Po Valley) during World War II. Their 20 Medal of Honor recipients appear above within the lists of those divisions.
Note 2: The Military Lineage report on the 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion indicates, "Personnel authorized to wear the insignia of the French 3d Zouaves Regiment". This is one of those serendipitous invitations for my further research!
