I have an unnamed purple heart with the number 316412 engraved on the side/rim. is there a way to determine the name of the soldier based upon the number alone? Thank you.

If there is a name associated with the rim number, then yes. The chances of that are very very slim though. There are lists of traceable numbers. I don’t have them in front of me atm. Maybe someone else can look it up for you.

I believe back in the ole days many medals were numbered, then the number recorded when awarded.
