According to General Orders 258, HQ, 45th Infantry Division, dated 6 November 1944, PVT Max Leive, ASN 42058757, 2678th Civil Affairs Regiment, was awarded the Purple Heart for wounds received in France on 3 October 1944. Home address: Elmhurst, New York (Image 0716, 11 April 2009). First medal award I have found so far for a GI of the 2678th, which was apparently attached to the 45th at the time. Dave
