Silvio Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted August 31, 2019 Thank you, great work. This could be the match,just wondering what his service record will be regarding campaigns and earned awards Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznation Posted August 31, 2019 Share #5 Posted August 31, 2019 You're welcome. I'm not 100% positive yet the soldier from Kansas City is the one who earned the Bronze Star. The "AT" after Pfc. stands for American Theater Ribbon. I think if that soldier had earned a Bronze Star there would've also been the initials BSM along with the AT.

Silvio Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted August 31, 2019 Thank you and you are wright it could be a other soldier.Somebody told me he started in the 95th division but would be transferred to the 7th Regt, 1st Cavalry Div.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith Posted August 31, 2019 Share #7 Posted August 31, 2019 That is not a WWII Bronze Star Medal. If it is, somebody hung it on a Vietnam drape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJohn#3RD Posted August 31, 2019 Share #8 Posted August 31, 2019 The style of engraving looks very similar to the current engraving of medals. Therefore the recipient could have received the award for service beginning in WW2 up to and including ongoing conflicts. But based upon other posts this was issued for WW2 service; this is most likely a CIB or CMB recipient unless you can locate a set of General Orders from those units awarding the medal to the soldier.

aznation Posted August 31, 2019 Share #9 Posted August 31, 2019 I don't know enough about the medal to speak of it but after checking I'm fairly certain it would've been issued to the Jasper J. Indelicato from Kansas City, MO, therefore I'm going to provide the rest of the information I found regarding him. Thanks...

Included in my previous post include the following: Here are some engraving stiles from Post WW2 and Vietnam eras. From left to right: The first and second are styles from the 1940s, the third and fourth are, what I believe to be, '50s and early 60's respectively styles of government engraving.

Silvio Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share #18 Posted August 31, 2019 Thank you all for your time and effort. I believe the medal itself is a ww2 type with a replacement ribbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share #20 Posted September 2, 2019 I get some scans and here he is in the 1st cavalry division. I do not know if the copy scans are legit. The bronze star should be linked to the CIB given i guess. The only award described on the honorable Discharge is the good conduct. But should he also recieved the American campaign/WWII Victory/Asian-Pacific/ and the Philippine liberation medal ?? even its not described.

Allan H. Posted September 2, 2019 Share #23 Posted September 2, 2019 To me, this looks like modern engraving and the medal pendant could be WWII, but it is more likely a post WWII made piece. The medal is a CIB conversion award, but I would guess that it was issued at about the time of his death. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share #24 Posted September 3, 2019 Thank you, I always thought that when the medal have a closed suspender ribbon ring its a WWII produced one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
