Timberwolf Posted February 6, 2015 Share #1 Posted February 6, 2015 Have this posted in new finds, but since those eventually get deleted I figured I'd post here for reference. From what little research I've done 1st Lt Margery Mapley was born in 1914 and passed away in 2010 and was from Michigan. Served with the 5th Army and later ETO command. Definitely looking forward to getting this one researched. This also came with her skirt and tie which are not pictured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timberwolf Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share #10 Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks Jason! I definitely noticed that on the ribbon bars, who knows maybe they were in units near each other and got the same supply of ribbons? Thanks Terry! Also if the mods could merge the two threads, since I saw the one in the latest finds was moved over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
