jprostak Posted August 9, 2021 Share #1 Posted August 9, 2021 This photo was attached to another posting. I'm trying to ID the Red/Grey-Silver/Black ribbon on the left. I'm guessing a state or city medal. Any insight would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertmedals Posted August 9, 2021 Share #2 Posted August 9, 2021 My bet is that the ribbon in question is actually faded red-white-blue, left to right. Most likely it is for a city/town/county medal. Only wo states used equal parts red-white-blue ribbons like that: New Hampshire and North Carolina. If you have an ID on the uniform, etc., you might be able to make an educated guess as to which city/town/county is represented and/or state.

bertmedals Posted August 9, 2021 Share #3 Posted August 9, 2021 I should have also added that there were a number of organizations that awarded WW1 service medals with red-white-blue ribbons such as the New Jersey Jr. O.U.A.M., so it could be one of those.

swag Posted August 9, 2021 Share #4 Posted August 9, 2021 If the uniform is named you might be able to identify him based off him being a recipient of the DSC. You could then find out his home town/state and possibly solve the riddle of the ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
