My grandfather, Albert F. Williams, was with the 2ND BATTALION, 143RD INFANTRY from Dec. 8, 1944 to Dec. 4, 1945. I do not know anything more specific about
the location and he is deceased. I have obtained his medals for my father by finding his 53-55 form. I know he received the Bronze Medal. Does anyone know of
any Unit Presidential Citations the unit would have received that would not be on the form? Thank you very much.

If he was from Athon, Mass. He is listed in E-Company 143rd, according to the roster. There is either a posting or a topic on the main 36th pages dealing with
Unit Lineages, there should be a listing of the Unit citations there.

ksclodfelter,
From what I can find Companies E,F and G of the 2nd battalion were all awarded the Presdential Unit Citation,which at the time was called the Distinguished Unit Citation. I'm not sure whether H Company was, maybe someone else know for sure. W.Jake Lindauer Son of Norman Lindauer G/143rd

He was from North Carolina and entered at Fort Bragg in 1942 though he did not depart to Europe until 1944. Does that put him in a certain company? I found
"Headquarters Company" on his record. Does that have a letter? One more thing-what does component "AUS" stand for? Thanks.
