Best Answer

Probably not- I am retired from the US Army- and in 23 years, I must have been issued at least 20 different weapons. When you leave a unit, the weapon gets turned in for re-issue to someone else. MOST military weapons did not have a record of the name of the soldier it was issued to. An exception to that were the rifles that were issued to members of the Swiss Army- when you finished training, you took your rifle home, and came back for two weeks of training each year. Many members of the Swiss military had a slip of paper under the buttplate with their name, serial number of the rifle, and their address- in case they misplaced their rifle, it could be returned to them. My Swiss K-31 was issued to Renee, who carried it for 20 years, and turned it in when he retired.

How were medals issued to servicemen after World War 2?

Answer The last day of the war, the Victory Medal was issued by General Order #33 issued in 1945 by the War Department. Several years after the war, the Prisoner Of War Medal was issued for any soldier who had been captured and held as prisoner in any war. This medal was not created then but after the war, the Bronze Star Medal was automatically issued to any soldier who had previously earned the Combat Infantryman's Badge, which was given to a soldier who qualified as an infantryman and who served in combat.
