To be awarded the Mexican Service Medal, a service member was required to perform military duty during the time period of eligibility and in one of the following military engagements.

Although a single decoration, both the Army and Navy issued two different versions of the Mexican Service Medal. The Army Mexican Service Medal displayed an engraving of a yucca plant, while the Navy version depicts the San Juan de Ulúa fortress in Veracruz harbor. Both medals displayed the annotation “1911 – 1917″ on the bottom of the medal. The Mexican Service Medal was a one time decoration and there were no service stars authorized for those who had participated in multiple engagements. For those Army members who had been cited for gallantry in combat, the Citation Star was authorized as a device to the Mexican Service Medal. There were no devices authorized for the Navy’s version of the decoration. A similar decoration, known as the Mexican Border Service Medal also existed for those who had performed support duty to Mexican combat expeditions from within the United States.

Discovered in an estate sale in Richmond, Va. This very rare medal was awarded by The Army & Navy Cub to Colonel Walter Metcalf, an officer in World War I. I’ve been unable to find any other example of a medal ever awarded by The Army & Navy Club. The relief on the medallion depicts two World War I soldiers in Army and Navy uniforms and is dedicated “to General Officers and Flag Officers” “1920″. The medal has been kept in very good condition, as shown. The Army & Navy Club was founded in 1885 as an exclusive, private club in the heart of the nation’s capital. It was established as a meeting place for military officers to share their stories, ideas and experiences with each other, and over the years, it has expanded, continuing to be very exclusive and prestigious. Today the Army and Navy Club is a Five Star Platinum Club that counts among its members some of America’s top Admirals and Generals, members of Congress and public servants. The medal was designed and made by the firm of Dieges & Clust, founded in 1898 in New York. Dieges & Clust is known for high quality and fine design and the company produced many medals including New York’s Spanish-American War Medal, the 1904 Olympic Medal, and the Medal of Honour. They also made baseball’s first ever Most Valuable Player Award and the first ever Heisman Trophy as well as numerous other sports related rings, awards and trophies.

Curved along the bottom of the back of the medal are six stars, three on either side of the center column of seven staffs wrapped in a cord.
