droberts4511 Posted March 15, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 15, 2020 Hello everyone I'm trying to identify the service ribbons from my grandfathers Army Uniform. He served in WW1 WW2 and Korea I'm unable to identify the right hand ribbon on the top right..in red square.. Plus the bottom two left ribbons.. One in the the blue square with the two devices and the other on the bottom row in the red square. If anyone could offer stories on the other ribbons that would appreciated as well. I just know the other ribbons by name and not much more. Thanks for your help! Dan Roberts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droberts4511 Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted March 15, 2020 Wow! Thank you so much! I guess the ribbons changed colors a bit I would have never have figured them out! Here is my grand fathers grave https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/77108943/claudius-henry-roberts Claudius Henry Mastin Roberts Birth 1894 Death 1969 (aged 74–75) Burial Arlington National Cemetery Arlington, Arlington County, Virginia, USA As well he held a number of patents...including this one for the US Army https://patents.google.com/patent/US3495532A/en?inventor=Claudius+H+M+Roberts&assignee=Us+Army&num=100 Any more information about him would be great to know. I have his Class A Uniform...not sure what to do with it..other than take it apart and make a display case for it.. Thanks for any ideas! Dan PS..His father was a southern Georgia Sharpshooter in the Civil War and is buried close by as well in Arlington...just figured this out a few years ago...Trying to figure out more about him as well!!!
