I agree - I have seen Navy groups with the first 5 mounted and the rest on the medals as single (unmounted). Bill

Here is another long time favorite from my collection. CMM Roy L. Hutcherson served since the early 1930's in Aviation Stations within the Coast Guard and died on active duty in the early 1950's.

Navy regs called for 5 to a bar (only) - until he got a 5th medal he could not wear a 2nd Bar. Bill

Unofficially engraved because the Army does not add the branch like "ANC" Bill

Nice pic Herman - I think it is my pic - It’s always proper to give credit to the original poster when you use a photo. Bill

Here is an excellent thread on the USMF - Ed put a lot of effort into this. https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/265973-tiffany-cross-recipients-update-42916/#comment-2139387 Bill There are 51 TOTAL Navy Medal of Honor recipients between 1919 and 1940 (the Tiffany Cross was first available for award in 1919). 1.

The 10 Recruits Bar belongs on a New York National Guard Recruiting Medal Bill

Your numbered medal is a WWII Period medal - can't tell you any more info regarding a date of manufacture/issue etc. Medrow was not awarded the Silver Star in WWII or Korea - Lawton OK. is home to Ft. Sill an Artillery base and this may be an early Vietnam award. Medrow was born in 1946 and in 1972 he was a US Army Reserve Captain. I think he died in 2005. Bill

The No. Medals came out in 1908 and I was told that the MNo. medals came out around 1909. So it is a correct period medal from 1909. Bill

The Marine Corps muster rolls are on Ancestry - he should have received a "No Bar" WWI Victory medal and any local or state medals from where he resided. Bill

M stands for the US Mint which manufactured this medal - Medals that prefix MNo. are not traceable on the medal rolls - These medals were sold to veterans who had left the military when the medals came out. The veteran would send his money to the mint and they would mail him a medal - However the data for these medals was never captured into rolls or databases. The M has nothing to do with the 6th Cavalry. Bill

Unnamed as proper for a WIA Bill

Harry W. Smith enlisted in 1939 - In April 1942 he joined the 2nd Raider BN Company D, and later as GySgt with Company G. When the Raiders were disbanded in 1944 he was transferred as GySgt. with 1/26 5th Marine Division where he was wounded on Iwo Jima. During the Korean War he was M/Sgt. of H/3/5 1st Marine Division.

If an individual fought with the Philippine resistance movement they were authorized a second star for the Defense Ribbon. Bill

Looks like Byron spent his entire WWI Service at Parris Island. Bill
