While attached to the 88th Inf. Div. the 776 TD Bn. was awarded the

FRENCH CROIX DE GUERRE WITH PALM under Decision No. 843, 21 June, 1945.

by the President of the Provisional Government of the French Republic,

with the following citation:

"A magnificent division, inspired by a wonderful spirit in combat.

In the battle of Garigliano and during the greater part of the offensive

which led the Allied Armies to the Tuscan Appenines, in spite of heavy loss

it maintained close contact with the units of the left flank of the French

Expeditionary Corps. It contributed immeasurably to the brilliant

series

of success which will remain the common heritage of the American and

French Armies."
