PLEASE FOLLOW OUR E BAY STORE. SALE SEE OUR STORE. PLEASE READ WHOLE ADD. This is a Sterling Silver numbered (7182) New York State Conspicuous Service medal. It has the original slot brooch and original ribbon. The ribbon does show some fading and wear, but it still hangs and holds the planchet. The planchet is in near perfect conditions, and the reverse shows the well struck numbers which are large and easy to read. It is also hallmarked “A. E. Co/STERLING”. This specific medal was awarded and issued to the family of Private John H. Kemper, of Company M, 305th Infantry, 77th Division, on June 22, 1948, for AEF service in WW1. Kemper was born in East Newark, NY, on September 19, 1896. He enlisted with Company M, of the 305th Infantry and was transported to France on the SS Cedric, from New York City, arriving at Calais, France in early June. In August the 77th Division was moved to the Vesle Sector and on the 11th they entered the line at Fisme. In May of 1919 and demobilized. He died on September 14, 1935, and is buried at the Mount Olivet Cemetery, in Queens, NY. I will provide a copy of his 305th Infantry roster, a 2 page copy of his embarkation and travel records to and from France, a color copy of his AGO award card for this numbered Conspicuous Service medal, and a copy of his obituary from the Brooklyn Times Union. I should note that he was also eligible for the WW1 Victory medal with Oise-Aisne, Meuse-Argonne, and Defensive Sector clasps, but if issued, the whereabouts are unknown. I should also note that this medal was issued to the Kemper family, as his death preceded the issuance of the medal.
