Kimj Posted June 12, 2017 Share #1 Posted June 12, 2017 I need help with ID-ing the medals on Axel Anton Leatz chest. Leatz was a Swedish volonteer in the American civil war and served in 5th New York Volunteer Infantery. He ended his US military career as a lieutenant colonel. Can the two medals be identified from this photo? The first is the order of the sword and the second a very rare Swedish medal for bravery in the field, only awarded about 43 times since 1814. Any ideas appreciated. /Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFloyd Posted June 13, 2017 Share #2 Posted June 13, 2017 The third medal is the membership badge of the Society of the Army of the Potomac. The fourth is probably a veteran's badge of some sort, probably related to his unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
