The number, upper left corner is the registration number/control number of that discharge, sorta like the serial number of a dollar bill. It would be also the number used when or if he had it registered and certified at his local court house. Mine is registered at the court house in Clarksville Tn. If my original was ever lost or destroyed, a cerified copy could be made and sent to me.
The one medal with the clasps is a WWI campaigne medal, top clasp was for Somme Offensive. The other is a WWII Victory Medal for Europe.
