hello. I was sorting through my mother's things and found a box of my grandfather's military things. My grandfather served overseas from June 1918 until
May 1919. I have searched and cannot find any description or
explanation of a ribbon/medal that was my grandfather's. let me try to describe it. There is a vertical American flag Above the flag is a brass piece that
has the initials - F. P. A. Hanging from that brass piece is a cracked bell. At the bottom of the flag is another brass piece that has a sharp upside down V .
Inside that V is a book with a building underneath. Under that is another very widespread V and on the right side of that V are marks like that of what a ruler would have.
Now -- my grandfather was from Pennsylvania and I wondered if the initials and the cracked bell were an indication of Pennsylvania.
Can you help me??? Thanks in advance.
