S.Sgt. Havilandt Posted May 29, 2002 Author Share Posted May 29, 2002 oh, and also, what the EAME Campaign was? If I'm not mistaken it took place in Central Europe/The Rhineland but I'm not entirely sure. Any help would be very welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 AFAIK the EAME campaign was the European-African-Middle-Eastern-Campain. Take a look here: EAME Campaign medal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
