Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/08/2015 11:58 am I wanted to post this to... A: show something VERY cool to you all: Maybe some coin collector vets or others knowledgeable can lead me into learning more about it?... it appears to be a bracelet made from 4 ww1 "ID disks", all are of the same family (and 2 are women!) and it is linked together with native American "old pawn" sterling... I'm thinking a possible "saving private ryan" style family that didn't make it back?... What do u guys think of it? Thanks!... (oblong is hand engraved "Dick Witt", USN with dates and a number) *Mods... please let this stay in classic coins for a day to get more eyes on it if possible before moving to medals & tokens* Report this Post to the Staff

I was able to find records for them on this site Bonnie https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KXTZ-HG5 Winnie https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KXTZ-HGY Jack https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KXTZ-HGT Dick Witt was too young to be in WWI so he likely served between the wars.
