What does it mean on World War 2 discharge papers he was awarded a GCM and a ET ribbon?
The discharge papers listed the soldier's awards and campaign credits. The papers will use acronymns which can be quite confusing.GCM is the Good Conduct Medal. This Medal was awarded to a soldier by the immeidate commander of his unit. It was awarded about 9 to 12 months after enlistment and was given for good conduct. This means he did what was expected and didn't get into trouble. This medal could be revoked if the soldier did something that deserved a "punishment".ET - I'm not aware of any "official" abbreviation as this. Maybe it was something used by the Navy or Coast Guard. In general terms, "ET" could mean European Theater. However this was not the official name for the medal or ribbon awarded for this. Soldiers who served in Germany, Italy, France or Britian, etc. would be awarded the European - African - Middle Eastern Campaign Medal which was abbreviated "EAME".
