GO 48 WD 45 refers to a General Order No. 48 issued in 1945 by the War Department. These orders issued by the War Department instituted medals for service in the War, such as the Victory Medals. I'm familiar with the European Campaign and GO 33 WD 45 authorized the Victory Medal. General Order No. 48 authorized the European-African-Middle East Campaign medal to be worn by the noted soldier who served in Central Europe Campaign during the period of March 22, 1945 – May 11, 1945. OTHER GENERAL ORDERS GO 33 WD 45 authorized EAME Campaign Medal for service in Southern France during August 15, 1944 – September 14, 1944. GO 40 WD 45 authorized EAME Campaign Medal for service in Rhineland Ardennes Campaign during September 15, 1944 – March 21, 1945. "One Bronze" could mean "one bronze battle star" or "one bronze arrowhead". The Arrowhead device is awarded to any service member who participates in an amphibious assault, a combat parachute drop, a helicopter assault landing, or a combat glider attack The battle star denotes participation in military campaigns or multiple bestowals of the same award.

AnswerWD GO 33 45 refers to a General Order that issued a campaign ribbon(and medal) at the end of the war. A General Order is like a memo from a headquarters.
