skypilot6670 Posted April 16, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 16, 2019 This badge belonged to John Quincy Adams , Co. K ,102nd New York Vol. Inf. He had 17 battle honors and there date engraved on it. Bull Run , Cedar Mtn. South Mtn. , Antetiam , Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wauhatchie, Missionary Ridge , Lookout Mtn. , Lost Mtn. , Dallas , Rasaca, Kennesaw , Big Shanty , Peech Tree Creek , Atlanta and Savanah. He left Bentonville off because he Han out of room. I purchased it as not identified,when I got it home I pulled the broach off the Veterans ribbon it was pinned to , and to my suprise found John Q Adams engraved on the back of the broach. Acodding to his service records he was present for all except Antetiam ,he was hospitalized. One of the best looking badges in my collection.
