Looked like a great group but it seems it was messed with

This was my only real fear about this project, an orphan being added to a group to embellish. 🫣 I am only now getting back into this project after a loss of all my data a while back.

I have M.No. 1766 it was with other medals named to a Arthur Raymond Bellis. However, it is not recorded in the file i had pulled. Bellis served in the USMC 1904-13.

So 1766 and 1765 came with the group or is one a typo?

I think I got my info from an old Gleim Auction Catalog
