FrankEaton01 Posted August 24, 2012 Share #3 Posted August 24, 2012 It's a War Department Civilian Service award. The one shown is for six months' service. Examples awarded for meritorious or exceptionally meritorious service had embroidered bands on the ends. In addition to Army Service Forces, I've also seen variations with Army Ground Forces and Army Air Forces insignia in the center. I believe they were first approved in 1943.
