Okay you WW2 experts... I need some help identifying the ribbons that appear in a black and white photo of my late father-in-law in his uniform.
Here is the crop of the ribbons and medals
I know that the upper right ribbon is the Good Conduct Medal, but the other three are so far a mystery...
Another mystery is the marksmanship medal. The main medal is the Army Expert Marksmanship Badge, but it has attached to it some kind of addition that I have not seen before... the bar seems to read "?????? Marksman" and dangling from it is a cross with a target that I have never seen before... Can any of you guys give me some insight as to what these ribbons and the medal are?
I want to create a memorial display for my wife about her father, and want to obtain the appropriate ribbons and medals to put in the display case with the flag that covered his casket...
Thanks in advance.
regards,
John
