I was able to purchase a WWI era medal grouping from an estate sale a couple of months ago, I asked the people who ran it if they had a name though they had no idea. I didn't really care because they were dirt cheap, so I was and am still pleased with the purchase. Though after further research I realized it was within the traceable range and would love to put a name with this small grouping. The number for the Mexican Boarder Medal is 13,412 Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Hello,

 

Mexican Border Service Medal number 29626 was issued to Private First Class Andrew Leo Mery.  He served in Company G, 13th Pennsylvania Infantry.  He may have had World War I service.  Hope this helps.
