Verdun16 Posted September 3, 2011 Share #1 Posted September 3, 2011 Found these medals listed as a lot on a UK auction site. Was wondering if there is any chance that they can be traced to the awardees. Thanks, Bryan UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Campaign Medals (4), United States Army, Spanish War Service Medal, 1898-1899 (29125), with reverse pin for wear; United States Army, Cuban Pacification Medal, 1906-1909 (No. 5731), with reverse pin for wear; United States Marine Corps, Mexican Service Medal, 1911 – 1917 (1385), with reverse pin for wear; United States Army, Mexican Border Service Medal, 1916-1917 (4965), with reverse pin for wear.

Garth Thompson Posted September 3, 2011 Share #5 Posted September 3, 2011 The Spanish War Service is outside the traceable range and the USMC Mexican is untraceable but a desireable medal. Garth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
