Mexican Border Service Question


Recommended Posts

Hello

 

First, thanks to lettow for providing the info regarding the Vet's service - much appreciated!

 

The vet's family (grandson) shared that he remembers a photo of his grandpa showing him on horseback, hearing a gunbelt with another soldier.

 

Apparently the vet did not serve overseas, just on the border

 

My question is this - as can be seen on his tunic, he has a "wound" stripe - why would this happed?

That is a time in service chevron.  A wound chevron would be at the bottom of the other sleeve below the corporal rank.
