Brig Posted October 2, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 2, 2013 Bought this on auction from a fellow forum member, a fantastic, large portrait of an unidentified Captain, dated 1919, wearing some beautiful BB&B collar emblems. Has a silver star citation device on his WWI Victory ribbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

normaninvasion Posted October 6, 2013 Share #4 Posted October 6, 2013 Brig, what's the 1st ribbon? 2nd looks like a CDG. Any other clues who this captain is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brig Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted October 7, 2013 Can't tell what the ribbon is, have an inkling who it may be, will let you all know if it pans out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJohn#3RD Posted October 8, 2013 Share #6 Posted October 8, 2013 Brig et al, I am going to guess Belgium CdG or Portuguese War Cross. Looked at both the Montenegrin Silver Medal of Valor and the Italian War Cross but ribbons are not close. Hope this widdels down the list of potential officers. This is based on George B Clark's Book Decorated Marines of the Forth Brigade in World War I John P.S. It is a great looking photo, thanks for posting.
