Hessian Posted May 21, 2015 Share #26 Posted May 21, 2015 Ok but seriously... how did you get the engraving to look that good with a dremel tool??? You're truly an artisan Robert... All levity aside, this HAS to be the finest example of a USMC grouping I've ever had the pleasure to look at. Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us. A somber reminder of Lt. Fraizer's sacrifice and bravery. I don't know how you do it... Congrats on another amazing centerpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brig Posted May 24, 2015 Share #38 Posted May 24, 2015 Coming in late on this, but this is truly an amazing group to an amazing Marine officer. A grail item for sure! Love the engraving, this group was well preserved and obviously honored for a long time before coming into your possession! I'm tempted to drive up there just to admire it in person. Now excuse me, I need to wipe the drool off my keyboard before it fries the laptop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary B Posted May 27, 2015 Share #39 Posted May 27, 2015 That has to be the best posthumous valor group I have ever seen. What an exceptional rarity. It's great such a set has stayed together all of these years - a true museum piece. Gary B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinO Posted May 21, 2019 Share #48 Posted May 21, 2019 Interesting, he enlisted in the Canadian Army in January and was discharged in March of 1917. Did not go over with them. Found these documents in his service record: Beautiful engraving on those medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
