Art the book is about the Normandy campaign which includes
a 3 month period over the entire western european theatre


That is what I don't understand. We were awarded little pins called battle
stars to pin on out theatre (ETO) ribbons. We had battle stars for D-Day, The
Po Valley, TheCentral Appennines,Central Europe, and the Bulge. I never heard
of battles going on on all over europe being lumped together and all called
Normandy. If that were the case we would have gotten one star for Normandy and
saved all that other scrap metal. Right?



A campaign in which you played a part as I recall

Yeah. I sort of remember that one. (:-)
