USMC 1916 Dominican Campaign/WWI Group

George Rosmarck enlisted in late 1915. He participated in the Dominican Campaign in 1916, and was stationed in the Dominican Republic through 1917 which I believe made him eligible for the Expeditionary medal. He was wounded in action twice while serving with the 47th Company in France during the Great War. He changed his name to Andrew Kozak after the war and his Purple Heart medal with OLC (whereabouts unknown) is engraved with the name Andrew J Kozak. He holds Dominican Campaign #1460, Expeditionary Medal #6791, and GCM #10129. I am grateful to be the caretaker of this group and hope that you enjoy seeing his medals and records from his file.

Thanks everyone! I can see from past requests for info in his service file that this group has been in the hands of collectors for many decades. I suspect that somewhere along the way someone could not make sense of the name change. It probably looked like the PH did not actually belong with the group. I had a heck of a time figuring it out and locating his records myself...with all of the resources available today on the internet and so forth.

Geoff. It is truly a remarkable group. Like said earlier, attributed Dominican Campaign medals are not easy to find. Looks like you're getting the hang of your photo booth.
