manayunkman Posted March 27, 2023 Share #1 Posted March 27, 2023 Can the numbers from Potomac and Mollus medals be traced? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cylekostello Posted March 27, 2023 Share #2 Posted March 27, 2023 So far as I know, Army of the Potomac society medals are untraceable. But MOLLUSes belonging to original companions (I.e the veterans themselves rather than their descendants). Are usually traceable with a bit of effort. the book Union Blue has an alphabetical list of original companions. But they’re listed alphabetically rather than numerically so it takes a while. I’ve had decent luck googling the phrase “Insignia no.[your MOLLUS here]”. Sometimes it’ll return an ebook with the numbers listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will act on it and see if I can’t scare up that ebook. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manayunkman Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share #4 Posted March 27, 2023 I typed in ‘’Insignia No. 3689’’ several times but only found the book for sale. Did I do that right? Thanks Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
