My grandpa fought in WW1 for the US. He was in the infantry.
Apparently was involved in a very bloody battle in France.
I was told he was awarded some sort of ring, any idea what that could have been?
I have never seen the ring or a photo, apparently it was lost shortly after he returned to the states. My father would always tell me about it when I was a kid but I never got any details.
I know this is a really vague question but any information would be appreciated.
