WW1 Purple Heart for Review - 371st Infantry Regiment, 93rd Division

[ErwinRommel1940]

Hello all,

 

Here is a WW1 recipent of the PH I picked up. I found his WW1 Georgia Service Card indicating he was wounded on Sept. 28th, 1918 in the Champagne Offensive. See additional research in photos.

 

I believe that the engraving on this one is probably from the 50-60s and is officially done. I assume that WW1 vets could apply for their medals when they please, so he was likely a late( r ) applicant and that is why it is engraved in this style. Just wanted to confirm that my research was correct and there weren't any red flags with this one.

 

Also, does anyone else have a PH to a "colored" soldier from WW1?

 

Thanks for the help in advance!

Army Transport List...…..Not sure why the two pictures are so small, trying to make them larger.

Your research looks good to me. I always think it helps to have an unusual name like "Boss".

Thanks for the comment. Glad that my conclusions on this one seem to be spot on. In regards to the name, he's the only one that has ever existed (that I can find), so it makes it very easy.

 

Still would like to hear others opinions!
