Ranum, Glenn A. 161st Infantry Regiment

My Great Uncle Glenn A. Ranum, PFC 161st Infantry Regiment, was killed on the Island of Luzon. He was killed at the battle of San Miguel on January 27th, 1944. I am trying to put together a memorial in his honor. I was given his purple heart commendation and have been trying to establish what other citations may have been awarded the regiment/division during his time with them. He was with the division from after basic training in January 1943 to the time of his death. I was told the official records were destroyed in a fire in the 1970's. Anyone out there with information would most definately be appreciated.
