jmar Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share #77 Posted March 5, 2017 Beautiful state service medal, Joe. I Look forward to reading the history of this fallen hero from a small state---- but not the smallest. Glad it was saved from a land fill and now in good hands that will research, preserve and honor what the medals represent. Thanks AB for stopping by, hope you've been doing well! Not the smallest state, but a close second...ha! Best wishes to you! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmar Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share #78 Posted March 5, 2017 Hell of a grouping! Well done! -Ski Hi Ski! It's great to be back and hear from my "old" friends. I was in the right place at the right time for that one, probably never happen again, but pleased beyond words that it happened at all! Thanks for stopping by! Best wishes, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for stopping in and commenting. I've got a lot of scanning and digging to do on the two recently posted as well as some others not yet added. It's nice to have a primary focus... finally, it only took 53 years of collecting to get there <ha!> My best wishes to you, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmar Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share #81 Posted March 5, 2017 Hi Kurt, He was born in St. Georges, and lived in New Castle, and Elmhurst (so far, perhaps other places in DE) He died in Elmhurst in 1968, his service was in New Castle at Gebhart Funeral Home and he was buried at St. Georges Cemetery. It's going to be an awesome project. Even found out he served as Chaplain of the State Chapter of WW I Veterans (hence the cross!) Also Past commander of the Wilmington Barracks No. 2550. I look forward to adding more data to preserve this honored Veteran's service. Thank you for your interest!! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you happen to have a Delaware State WW I Service Medal, please post it here! I'd really enjoy seeing them!! Best wishes, Joe Hi everyone, I am new to the site but came across this very interesting thread during an internet search. I am an Englishman living in France and a major part of my collection is allied victory medals of WW1, a sub-part of which are the US state, county and town peace/service medals. This is the Delaware medal from my collection and I would be very grateful if anyone is able to tell me anything about the recipient, HT Cummings (medal number 8197) thanks in advance, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmar Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share #83 Posted December 31, 2020 Hello Rob, Beautiful medal, with an interesting recipient if I'm correct. Appears he was an officer, I hope this info will help you in your research. Harry T Cummings Birth Date: 27 Nov 1884 Military Date: 18 Oct 1919 Residence Place: New Castle, Delaware Death Date: 10 Feb 1945 Quite a bit on him on Newspapers.com.

Rob Don't know particularly for Wyoming medals, but why don't you start a new thread? I can try seeing what I can find for that one, too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
