I’m looking for details on what service ribbons, medals, and whatever else my great grandfather might’ve had on his uniform. I’m also looking for other regimental and individual history that may be available for him and what weapons he might’ve been issued in hopes of collecting them. His name was Giovanni Battista Parenti, but many of his records are just Battista Parenti or Gio Battista Parenti. He was born 3/5/1893 in Castelvecchio di Compito in Italy and emigrated to the United States (specifically Michigan) in August 1911. I know from previous research that he was in the US Army’s 4th Division, 39th Infantry Regiment, Company I until June 26, 1919 when he was transferred to the 47th Infantry Regiment, Company F and sailed home on July 16, 1919. His enlistment date was 9/20/1917 and his discharge date was 8/4/1919. His service number was 2 022 796. I have read The History of the 39th U. S. Infantry During the World War book and it was a great resource to help investigate what records I could find. I don’t have his DD-214 yet. I put in a request for records, but they are currently closed due to COVID. His son, my grandfather, just turned 88 in January and I’m trying to gather these things to give to him for his birthday. His dad didn’t really share much about his time during the war with him so what I have revealed to him so far has blown his mind. Thank you for your time in reading this, regardless of outcome! I appreciate every one of you.

Edit: I know a company panoramic photo exists, but I can’t seem to find a copy of it. Assistance with that would also be incredible!
