Hi folks - just wanted to ask about a medallion(?) that I found today. I have researched the man named on the medallion and he was part of the 32nd Red Arrow Division coming out of Kenosha, Wisconsin - a hard hitting group of men for sure. He was killed in action in 1918. Now the town I found this in had a WW1 reunion during July 1924 (they expected over 600 veterans to attend). I found this medallion in the general area of that celebration - though now covered with older homes. I have researched the soldier and I am taking steps to speak with his closest relative (actually lives near me). The question I have is, has anyone ever saw one of these before? It is aluminum and looks well stamped. I was wondering if a group like GAR may have produced them or if it was somehow a Wisconsin based thing. I could see no makers mark on the back. Thanks.
