Fritz Posted August 28, 2012 Share #1 Posted August 28, 2012 Picked this up this past weekend, real nice medal grouping with post WW1 VFW pins. The dogtags are for a one H.L. Summers supply Sgt 23rd Engineers. The little castle patch is pretty neat as well, the victory medal has the Meuse-Argonne bar as it should for this unit. Now to hit the green books and see if he was from Ohio. Fritz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritz Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted August 28, 2012 Interesting group. I'd love to see that interesting looking medal. Is it fraternal ? I'll get a closeup of it, yes its some sort of fraternal cross/pin. Fritz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quirt Posted August 28, 2012 Share #5 Posted August 28, 2012 I could be wrong, but I think the castle patch is for the Corps of Engineers. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack's Son Posted August 28, 2012 Share #6 Posted August 28, 2012 Interesting group.I'd love to see that interesting looking medal. Is it fraternal ? The symbol is associated with Freemasonry, specifically the Knights Templar branch of Freemasonry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frac Posted December 4, 2014 Share #8 Posted December 4, 2014 Fritz, I recently purchased a book for the AEF 23rd Engineers Regimental Roster. My grandfather served with Company F in France from March 30, 1918 through June 16, 1919 according to digital archives. My grandfather is listed in the book as well as H.L. Summers. His first name is Herbert and he is listed address is 414 Center St., Findlay, Ohio. His regimental company code listed is Mt. Tr. and Hq. I believe that refers to Mounted, Train and Head Quarters. Hope you find this helpful. Frac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

23engineers Posted September 19, 2017 Share #10 Posted September 19, 2017 Frac, does your book list Co. E? my grandfather was H W Whaley. thanks, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frac Posted October 18, 2017 Share #11 Posted October 18, 2017 There is a Whaley, Harry W listed in Company E with an address of 3010 Frazier St., Covington, KY. If you want to find more information on your grandfather, I would suggest you visit Fold3 web site and search the WW1 era. This will provide you with your grandfathers military number, the ships he went to and from France on as well as the date of sailing and date of port entry. The 23rd Engineer regiment had two major sailings from US to Brest France and four major sailings back to US Hoboken, NJ on return. There were stragglers that went to and from France on other ships from this regiment. Hope this adds to your research. Frac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
