Edelweisse Posted January 16, 2024 #1 Posted January 16, 2024 Hi Folks: I am trying to locate my Great Uncle’s WWI Purple Heart award card. I’ve researched Ancestry.com etc. and I can’t locate. As a child, I recall visiting my great uncle’s home in Cambridge, Mass. and when you entered his home on the mantle was his Purple Heart metal in a glass case. He was a Sergeant in the 26th Infantry Division in a Machine Gun unit. I recall he was “gassed”. I don’t know what happened to the medal which is probably somewhere. His name: CARL EDGAR NILSON Any and all assistance would be appreciated. Thank you
Edelweisse Posted January 16, 2024 Author #2 Posted January 16, 2024 He was in the 101st Machine Gun Co. of the 26th Infantry Division, serial# 62855
