TrevorR Posted December 29, 2011 Share #1 Posted December 29, 2011 Got this PH through a trade from a friend of mine. Pvt. William A. Mitchell WIA 6 September 1918 Oise-Aisne Offensive Company B, 108th Machine Gun Battalion, 28th Division Awarded 14 August 1939 Numbered 65,693 On the night of 6th-7th August 1918 the Division entered the line at the Vesle River. This sector was from Courlandon to the east to Fismes on the west. They remained there until 8 September 1918 when they were relieved by a French Division. Pvt. Mitchell was wounded two days before the the Division was relieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldradiostuff Posted August 16, 2018 Share #4 Posted August 16, 2018 Did Metal Arts make Hearts with a split brooch like this, in addition to the bent slot brooch I'm used to seeing from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
