They were identified by the issuing HeadQuarters, the Year they were issued, and the memo number for that year.WD GO 33 45 was General Order #33 issued by the War Department in 1945 that established the European-African-Middle Eastern Theater Campaign Medal.The Bronze Star device that was attached to this medal signified 1 campaign.

World War 2 general order 33 and 40 War Department?
Many WWII discharge papers of individual servicemen refer to GO 33 WD 45, or "General Order number 33 of the War Department issued in 1945". This General Order created the Victory Medal and issued it to all soldiers currently in the army. (In each new year general Orders from the War Department started over at Number 1). Your question does not specify the year of the general Orders you are inquiring about, but the GO 33 WD 45 is often seen. I believe General Order 40 of the War Department in 1945 defined the Ardennes Campaign ("Battle of the Bulge") and is usually referenced on discharge papers to indicate a soldier was credited with participation in that campaign. This would entitle him to one little bronze "campaign star" to wear on the ribbon of his EAME - that's Europe-Africa-Middle East campaign medal.

What campaign does the bronze star award have to do with?
The Bronze Star was a device added to a campaign medal for a second award of the campaign medal.If a soldier served in battles in France and Germany, he may have been in 3 campaigns. He would have been issued the campaign medal for that theater which is called the European - African - Middle Eastern Campaign Medal. The EAME Campaign medal was awarded for any campaigns in North Africa, Italy, Germany, France, etc. For the 1st Campaign he would received the ribbon (they usually did not give out the medal during the war). For the second and third campaign he would receive 1 Bronze Star Device for each campaign. This small star was attached to the ribbon. It was also attached to the ribbon of the Medal itself.There were other Campaign medals for the Pacific. The same would apply for these.This Device should not be confused with the Bronze Star Medal. This medal was in the shape of a star and made of Bronze. It was awarded for bravery in combat but it was also given out for other accomplishments. In 1947, the rules were changed to award the Bronze Star Medal to any infantryman who had earned the Combat Infantryman's Badge---signifying he had been in combat.
What is the description of battle star for moroccan campaign in world war11?
A Service star, also referred to as a battle star, campaign star, or engagement star, is an attachment(or device) to a military decoration which denotes participation in military campaigns or multiple bestowals of the same award. Someone serving in a Campaign would receive one of the two Campaign Ribbons/Medals. He would receive an Oak Leaf device for each Battle after that until he had obtained 4, then he would be issued the battle star. So the Battle Star is just a star. The Medal for service in Morroco would be a campaign medal and most likely the European - African - Middle Eastern Campaign Medal.
What was the oak leaf medal giving for?
The Oak Leaf Cluster is not a medal. It is a small pin in the shape of an oak leaf that is issued for the 2nd (and 3rd and 4th) time you receive a medal. If you earned a Purple Heart Medal for being wounded, then the second time you would be issued "an oak leaf to the Purple Heart Medal". Campaign Medals were issued for service in a region for a specific time. Then if you continued serving and were in another campaign, you would receive a 2nd Oak Leaf to the Campaign Medal. Thus the Normandy landing was one campaign. Then if you fought into Germany there was one for that.
How many medals did Gregory boyington get?
Assuming that the Department of the Navy gave him everything he earned, I believe he earned: Medal of Honor; Navy Cross; Purple Heart; Presidential Unit Citation; American Defense Service Medal; Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal (I would guess three or four battle stars); American Campaign Medal; WWII Victory Medal. After the fact the services created a POW Medal which could be awarded retroactively, so he would have earned that, too.
What is the military award for being in a war called?
Campaign Medals were issued for different wars or campaigns. These campaign medals are awarded for anyone who served during a war and does not mean they were directly in combat. During WW2, they had campaign ribbons for Europe and Mediterranean area and one for the Pacific area. There is a Korean War Medal and a Viet Nam War medal as well as ones dating back to earlier wars and actions. So many different ones were issued and the soldier's records would identify the campaign medal that he earned.
Where are campaign stars worn on a European Middle Eastern campaign medal?
The Campaign ribbons are issued for service in a specific region. Since there were multiple campaigns in a region, the campaign ribbon could be earned for each campaign.

A bronze Star "device" was worn after the 1st campaign was awarded.
What is the difference between a Bronze Star and a Bronze Battle Star -?
The Bronze Star Medal was an award usually given for bravery in war. It was also given out for other reasons and during WW2 a few were awarded to civilians who helped support the troops. After 1947, the Army decided to award a BSM to every infantryman who had fought in combat and was awarded the Combat Infantryman's Badge. The BSM was a bronze star that hung from a ribbon mostly Red in color with Blue stripe down the center and White on the outside edge.The Bronze Star Device was a star that attached to a Campaign Medal to designate a 2nd or 3rd, etc. award of the Campaign Medal. A soldier was credited with a Campaign Medal for each campaign, such as Normandy, Ardennes, Anzio-Rome. So if a soldier served in 3 campaigns, he would be issued one Campaign Medal for the area of the war he served in and two Bronze Stars he could attach to the ribbon of the Campaign Medal.

What do the stars represent on the purple heart medal?
The Oak Leaf Device was a small leaf that was attached to the ribbon of a medal to denote the 2nd issue of that medal. So if a soldier had a Campaign Medal with 2 Oak Leaves meant that the soldier had been awarded the medal three times.When the soldier earned his 5th PHM, he would use the Bronze Star Device in place of the multiple Oak Leaves. (I believe that is the correct number)
