I rediscovered two World War I Victory Metals that have been sitting in one of my "treasure chests" for years. I recall that they were handed down from my father's side of the family - found in a steamer trunk after someone passed away. I have plenty of genealogical records and just might be able to connect these metals to people, but I fear it will remain a mystery.
The WWI Victory Metal was awarded for qualifying service in the U.S. Armed Forces between April 6, 1917, and April 1, 1920.
One has 3 battle clasps:
DEFENSIVE SECTOR
ST. MIHIEL - In any engagement in European Russia after August 1, 1918, or in Siberia after August 15, 1918
(September 12-16, 1918)
MEUSE-ARGONNE - NAVY BATTLE CLASPS
(September 29 to October 10, 1918, and October 25 to November 11, 1918)
The second has 1 battle clasp:
DEFENSIVE SECTOR
