The abbreviation "BSM" on a headstone typically stands for "Bronze Star Medal," which is a military honor awarded for acts of heroism, meritorious service, or achievement in a combat zone. In the context of World War II, it signifies that the individual recognized had notable contributions or displayed bravery during the war. The presence of this medal on a headstone highlights the individual's service and sacrifices made while serving in the armed forces.

Who received the bronze star in the 45th infantry division in World War 2?

Try the "American War Library." If you have a copy of his Discharge papers and you know the General Order that issued the BSM, then you can request a copy of it from the National Archives. If not, they you would have to research the files or hire someone to do this. Note, that in 1947 there was a rule change that awarded the BSM to any soldiers who fought in combat as an infantryman and had been awarded the Combat Infantry Badge. So it is possible that he did not earn the BSM for a specific action and after the war he ordered his discharge papers, it would show he earned the BSM.
