Group of US Navy medals to Machinists Mate 1st Class William A. Please note that ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS and PHOTOS are NOT included with the medals. US Navy Good Conduct Medal Officially named and dated 1924, with two bars. The top bar is engraved USS Argonne and on the reverse CSC 79137, 5 Jan 1929. Note that this CSC number matches the one on the medal. The lower bar is dated 1933 and is engraved on the reverse William Albert Marth. The medal has the original ribbon and the narrow full wrap brooch that was unique to the USN GCM in the 1920s. US Navy Yangtze Service Medal, officially numbered on the rim, M. 5037, with original ribbon and full wrap brooch. Issue of this medal is confirmed by number by several documents in Marths service file. Marths qualifying service for the medal was on the destroyer USS Sicard from 1926 to 1927. The Yangtze Service Medal was authorized by Navy Department General Order No. It was designed by John R. Sinnock, Chief Engraver of the US Mint, and was struck by the Mint at Philadelphia in 1933. The obverse design features a Chinese junk at half sail and the legend Yangtze Service. It was awarded to sailors of the Asiatic Fleet, serving on the Yangtze River and at Shanghai, China. The period of eligible service for the medal was September 1926 to October 1927 and March 1930 to December 1932. Also included is a VFW medal and a ribbon bar. The VFW medal was obtained with the other two above but I dont have any records to document Marths membership in the organization. Ive seen records from the 1930s that indicated that being the recipient of a Yangtze Service Medal entitled a veteran to membership in the VFW. Included with the medals is a color COPY of 26 pages from Marths Navy service file. It summarizes all of his service from 1920 until his retirement in 1940. He did not serve in the Navy during WWII. These records were scanned at the Military Personnel Records Center in St. Please note that NO ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS OR PHOTOS are included with the medals.
