gearhead1968 Posted April 25, 2022 Share #1 Posted April 25, 2022 I bought a 3rd Division WWI wound accolade over the weekend, but I can't figure out the name. What I can figure out is that he was a corporal in Co. D of the 8th MG Battalion, but I'm lost on that name. If anyone wants to give it a try, I would appreciate it. thanks!!
