Reading notes

Things to be careful about

  • Manual extraction from NARA JPG object 483340572 and NARA OCR, reviewed on 28 April 2026.
  • The page is degraded and has heavy contrast, but Arthur's surname, initials, serial number 35066128, grade Pvt, and the Company E heading are visually supported.
  • The order number at the upper left is unclear on this image and was not normalized.
  • Paragraph 1 on the same page withdraws a Combat Infantryman Badge from a different enlisted man; it should not be treated as Arthur's Combat Infantryman Badge evidence.

Notes

Research notes

  • No citation block is included because NARA Catalog metadata, NAID, object identifiers, filenames, and object URLs are captured in document_details.
  • Accepted by the user on 4 June 2026 for Arthur J. Iacofano's source-level WWII service and Expert Infantryman Badge award facts only.
  • This is a newly captured public NARA Army General Orders artifact for Arthur's WWII service; it is separate from the previously ingested Morning Report and Camp Carson sources.
  • Linked only to Arthur Iacofano Sr. by the matching Army serial number; the ingest helper's same-name match to `person-art-iacofano-1952` was removed.
  • A related military-service event remains proposed; do not promote related events or update canonical person relationships from this approval alone.
