Glad to contribute to your post and I agree, Hilliard most certainly would have been issued a Transport service clasp. I did a little research on Hilliard and he seems to have been a fascinating guy and somewhat of a financial mover and shaker. The Vanderbilts and other wealthy New York families have flocked to Asheville for more than a century so I was wondering if he was a real tarheel or a New Yorker born at Asheville. Look forward to reading your post about him! Here's the numbers for issuance of the various service clasps. -

Earlier this month, aviation writer Gerald H. Balzer passed away at age 97. He was a talented aviation historian-turned World War II fighter pilot who had the opportunity to write a number of military aviation books, and I was proud to have read one of his books, titled American Secret Pusher Fighters of World War II: XP-54, XP-55, and XP-56. Balzer will sorely be missed. -

aerialbridge, I appreciate your very detailed response and contribution to the discussion of clasps for the USN in WWI and for showing your great-uncle’s cards. I’m confident now that Hilliard earned the Transport clasp for his time on the ship after seeing the three responses to this post. From what I have gathered so far, he led a very interesting life and I’ll post a write-up in the medals section in the future to share his history. Thanks again.
