I have a question Kastauffer. Would the discharge pin be silver. Also on the award card says French Fourragere. That should be a shoulder cord not a medal that is in the group. I haven't heard of a medal and a cord together. The discharge pin could mean they ran out of silver at the time issue.

 

 

Generally if a soldier was wounded a Silver pin was issued, but it a bronze pin is present, I still wouldn't assume he was never wounded.

 

The Fourragere was often issued by the US Army in the 30's and was noted on the card. I have had some to 1st Division soldiers. The look different than French made ones from WWI.
