Summary:
The series consists of twelve black and white photographs of service medals and brief textual summaries on marksmanship badges, describing their significance and history. The summaries were apparently copies from published Adjutant General's reports or other unidentified sources. The photographs may date from the 1940s and 1950s. Medals represented in the photographs are examples of those awarded to National Guardsmen, to veterans of the Mexican Punitive Campaign, and to survivors of Southern prison camps during the Civil War.
