Bruce Linz Posted September 19, 2018 Share #7 Posted September 19, 2018 Hello, Beautiful medal. If you want to find out more information you can start by requesting his AGO card from the NPRC in St. Louis, MO. There are several researcher on the forum who can get that card for you quickly and at a very reasonable price. Good luck.

BigJohn#3RD Posted September 19, 2018 Share #10 Posted September 19, 2018 It is always neat to see a WWI Purple Heart in such good condition and with a picture of the veteran too. Thank you for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
