The next few photos and Bio, pertain to Pfc Alf L. Crutchfield, I and M Companies, 254th Infantry Regiment.  Pfc Crutchfield's widow, Imogene,
contacted the Webmaster and Historian of the 63rd Infantry Division and found that Pfc Crutchfield qualified for the award of a Bronze Star
Medal for Meritorious Service based on his earning the Combat Infantryman Badge.  Mrs Crutchfield made the application and the results are
shown below.
