Marion: This picture has me puzzled. This soldier shows the rank of a T/5
grade, but also shows two WW 1 overseas stripes (6 months each). But no ribbons
or medals from it. I am a little up on WW 1 decorations and badges as my dad served in both ww 1 and ww 2. Along with his 1st. Sgt. stripes he also wore 3 "Hershey bars"
from ww2 plus two WW1 overseas stripes , and his wound stripes on is right sleeve from ww 1 (same stripes as overseas stripes but on right sleeve). Along with his ribbons from both wars..
