Fritz Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share #32 Posted June 8, 2016 How many DSCs were awarded in WW1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12A54 Posted June 8, 2016 Share #33 Posted June 8, 2016 The Army awarded 6,428 DSCs in WWI. (BTW that is fewer than were awarded in WWI, likely because at that time there were no other lesser medals for valor.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Dentino Posted June 8, 2016 Share #35 Posted June 8, 2016 What a real gem of a grouping there Fritz! That DSC is the nicest example that I have ever seen.....that case alone is amazing and the paperwork really ties it all up in one SWEET package. Congrats on being the caretaker of such a group!

12A54 Posted June 8, 2016 Share #36 Posted June 8, 2016 The Army awarded 6,428 DSCs in WWI. (BTW that is fewer than were awarded in WWI, likely because at that time there were no other lesser medals for valor.) (I must have been tired when I wrote this.) Total awarded in WWI was 6,428. There were fewer (4,427) DSCs awarded in WWII because other valor awards had been created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greatwarimages Posted February 24, 2020 Share #41 Posted February 24, 2020 I have a studio photo of a 32nd enlisted man with his DSC and Croix de Guerre. I had been doing some research to determine the identity of the soldier. The name I came up with was Joseph A. Chayie based on the Calumet, Mich. embossed on the photo. I stumbled across you group Super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
