For your consideration is this fine medal trio purchased directly from the estate of H.enry R.uhsert, who is buried here in Wichita. R.uhsert was a veteran of "F" Co., 1st Battalion, 1st Wyoming Volunteer Infantry. While the "War With Spain" and "Philippine Insurrection" medals are appropriately numbered it would appear that R.uhsert applied for these later, possibly after WWI, when the numbers were no longer properly recorded by the National Archives Record General. ...
