ORIGINAL PRE WORLD WAR II UNITED STATES NAVY CAPTAIN/MARINE CORPS COLONEL “WAR EAGLE” RANK INSIGNIA, 1-1/2 INCH SIZE, PIN-BACK W/ LOCKING CATCH. The insignia for a colonel is a silver eagle which is a stylized representation of the eagle dominating the Great Seal of the United States (which is the coat of arms of the United States). As on the Great Seal, the eagle has a U. Shield superimposed on its chest and is holding an olive branch and bundle of arrows in its talons. However, in simplification of the Great Seal image, the insignia lacks the scroll in the eagle’s mouth and the rosette above its head. On the Great Seal, the olive branch is always clutched in the eagle’s right-side talons, while the bundle of arrows is always clutched in the left-side talons. The head of the eagle faces towards the olive branch, rather than the arrows, advocating peace rather than war. As a result, the head of the eagle always faces towards the viewer’s left. Some colonel eagles from the 1920s to the 1950s faced the arrows, though this is no longer done. The full-sized colonel eagle is exactly two inches in diameter from the tips of each wing. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you!
United States Navy Officer’s Cook 1st Class Apolonio Ilarina (Service #173-97-08) was born June 12th 1896 in the Philippines. Apolonio enlisted in the U. Navy on June 28th 1918 and served during World War I. For his service in the Great War he was issued the Victory Medal (location unknown). Seaman Ilarina departed Philippines in August 1919 aboard the U. Sheridan and arrived in San Francisco, California August 27th 1919. While serving aboard the former U. Saratoga had been renamed the U. Rochester and in 1931, an earthquake devastated Nicaragua. Bandits took advantage of the chaotic conditions and Rochester steamed to the area to counter their activities. For his service in Nicaragua, Ilarina was awarded this 2nd Nicaraguan campaign medal M. 2802, which he had stamped engraved with his name, rank, & station. Off Ck 1/c Ilarina continued to serve in the Philippines and departed Manila July 1933 aboard the U. Grant and arrived July 26th 1933 in San Francisco, California. Off Ck 1/c Ilarina was honorably discharged from the Navy in December 1938, and remained in the Naval Reserves until September 1st 1948 when he was fully retired from the Navy. United States Navy Officer’s Cook 1st Class Apolonio Ilarina passed away December 10th 1952 and he is buried at the Banga Municipal Cemetery, Banga, Capiz, Philippines. I will include full size printed pages of the research provided. 2ND NICARAGUAN CAMPAIGN MEDAL. REPLACED FULL WRAP BROOCH. RIBBON DRAPE TESTED UV NEGATIVE. The Second Nicaraguan Campaign Medal is a campaign medal of the United States Navy & Marine Corps which was authorized by an act of the United States Congress on 8 November 1929. The Second Nicaraguan Campaign Medal was awarded for service during operations in Nicaragua from 1926 to 1933. An earlier campaign medal, the Nicaraguan Campaign Medal, was awarded for service in Nicaragua 1912. The Second Nicaraguan Campaign Medal was considered a separate award from the first version of the medal and Navy regulations permitted the receipt and wear of both decorations, if so authorized. Southerland, who had been in overall command of both Nicaraguan campaigns, was the first recipient of both versions of the Nicaraguan Campaign Medal. The Second Nicaraguan Campaign Medal appeared as a medal suspended from a red ribbon with several white stripes. The medal displayed a woman (representing Columbia), armed with a sword, defending two other figures with a cloak. The medal bore the words Second Nicaraguan Campaign with the dates 1926 – 1930 displayed on the medal’s edges (although the medal was authorized until 1933). No devices were authorized.
