emccomas Posted July 13, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 13, 2013 Been looking for one of these for a while. Just got this off of Ebay. Came with the original numbered box. This United Daughters of the Confederacy Cross of Military Service for Korea was awarded to Wilbur P. Clarke for his service during the Korean Conflict by the UDC Gen. Robert Bullock Chapter in Ocala, Florida. His Confederate ancestor was his great-great-grandfather, Solomon Cicero Bost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter Posted July 13, 2013 Share #2 Posted July 13, 2013 Beautiful medal.Did they change the ribbon depending on the war? The medal you have looks to have a Korean War type ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
