Critique on Shadowbox concept

[Lightech]

Here is my concept for a family shadowbox. Is there anything wrong/inaccurate, or any pins/decorations I could add?

Is the following the right way to print their information on a plaque:

WWI -

Pvt Benjamin Arthur O’Barr USA

Battery E 25th Artillery CAC

Fort Rosecrans, CA

 

Pvt Herbert Hadley USMC

Naval Prison Detachment co D

Mare Island, CA

 

Pvt Roy Verlin Plemmons USA

Camp Detachment, Co G

Camp Bowie, TX

 

WWII -

 

2nd Lt Stuart Brown Quist USA

1318th Service Command Unit

Co A, 5th Bn, Conv Hosp

Camp Pickett, VA

 

1st Lt Erva Irene Watson USA

208th Hospital Ship Comp

USAHS Chateau Thierry

 

Ralph Herbert Hadley USN

Coxswain SV6 (PO2)

USS Petrof Bay

 

Cold War -

 

S/Sgt Lloyd Reed Ellsworth USAAF

5th Bombardment Squadron

Mountain Home Air Force Base, ID

If SSgt Ellsworth was in after Sep 47 it should read USAF and not USAAF. Also, the current AF abbreviation is SSgt, I'm not sure when it changed from S/Sgt. Not sure if that occurred when it separated from the Army in '47 or at a later date. Maybe somebody else can chip in with that info.

 

The concept looks good.

Very nice. Suggestion - put a label above each of the medals as to what they are.

[Brian Keith]

Wow! Very nice tribute, you have a lot of military history in your family. It might just be my computer, but the cap badges of the two WW II officers look slightly silver. They should be gold for Army officers.

Excellent Job! Very pleasing to the eye.

Best Regards,

One small point...the piece of insignia you have above the Sailor is only worn by officers.

Great display and idea! Only thing that jumped out at me was the 2nd and 3rd photos (from left), they look like USAF officer hat badges but the pics are of Army medical corps which would make them gold. Otherwise you did a great job and nice tribute to your family

I think it looks great -- excellent idea and professional. On question though, were the name/organization plaques below the named commercially made or did you make them yourself?
