An earlier incarnation of this group consisted of the first, fifth and seventh medals only but was with two documents (sadly no longer with the lot) - Nichols’ Commission document as a Captain in the Oregon National Guard, 21 November 1942 and Certificate of Award for the U.D.C. Military Service Cross 1941-45.

The United Daughters of the Confederacy presents crosses to its members, men and women, who are lineal descendants of Confederate veterans. With some copied research.

This lot is sold as seen and is not subject to return. Please see saleroom notice on lot 280 for fuller details.
