Zachary Kahmann from Cold Spring has had interest in militaria ever since the age of 12, when he was given several items belonging to his great grandfather from World War...

The regiment existed from May 15th 1917 to July 31st 1922. They were formed in California and stationed at Camp Fremont. On October 18th 1918 they departed California to Camp Mills New...
This is a WWI Croix de Guerre I found on 10/25/23. These medals were issued by the French government starting in 1915 for acts of heroism during combat. They were commonly issued to foriegn soldiers allied to France.
