Officer Medal Tally Forms and Submission Report
306th Bomb Group--Thurleigh, England
TALLY SHEETS: Keeping track of how many missions a man had flown and when he was due to be awarded a particular medal was a significant administrative undertaking for the group staff. Copies of officer "tally" forms that kept track of combat missions and medals are included in the collection for officers with names from Knight through McCallum. Also included is the 26 June 1944 report submitting officers for award of various medals to 1st Bomb Division. And finally, Russell Strong through his extensive research developed a list of the many 306th men who received medals for bravery (Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Silver Star, Bronze Star, Soldier's Medal) and meritorious service (Legion of Merit, Bronze Star) and that listing is also included
