The ribbon is likely that for the EAME (Europe Africa Middle East) Medal or the Pacific Medal, depending on which the soldier was in. The little silver star is a campaign star, meaning the soldier took part in one campaign in that Theater of Operations, as the campaigns were defined in War Department General Order Number 33 of 1945. The bronze arrowhead was awarded to troops who took part in an assault landing on enemy territory.


What does a World War 2 EAME Ribbon w 3 stars and one bronze arrowhead represent?

Bronze star represents major campaigns. For example the EAME Ribbon was given to anyone who served in Europe. So if they participated in the Napples-Foggia Campaign, then they would have 1 bronze star. Other campaigns were: Northern France, Southern France, Rhineland, and Air Offensive, Europe. If the unit was involved in the amphibious landing at Salerno, then they would receive a Bronze Arrowhead. A good source that was used to look up what campaign credit was earned by each unit is the Dept. of Army Pamplet 672-1 "UNIT CITATION AND CAMPAIGN PARTICIPATION CREDIT REGISTER" dated July 1961 (which is at least 300 pages thick). This document was used to determine who could be credited for campaign medals for WW2 and Korea. Custermen
