Navybean Posted September 13, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 13, 2018 Civil war medal grouping to a member of the Massachusetts Minute Men 6th Regiment. Jones served with the 6th regiment during the war. Jones later was a busy member of the GAR. interesting set of medals. Jones appears to have been a Pvt. A number of the medals are named including the blue Old 6 Mass. I know about most of these medals but not sure about a couple like the Old 6th. Any input on the group and medals would be appreciated. thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
