The following battle clasps, inscribed with a battle’s name, were worn on the medal to denote participation in major ground conflicts. Aisne (May 27 to June 5, 1918). Aisne-Marne (July 18 to August 6, 1918). Cambrai (May 12 to December 4, 1917). Champagne-Marne (July 15-18, 1918). Lys (April 9-27, 1918). Meuse-Argonne September 26 to Nov.

For general defense service, not involving a specific battle, the “Defensive Sector” Battle Clasp was authorized. The clasp was also awarded for any battle which was not already recognized by its own battle clasp. Adjusting the S&H is a manual process so paying before that process is completed will result in an overpayment. All must be paid for at one time on one invoice to receive these discounts.
