Dam, you guys are knocking me off my rocker. How nice it is of you to take pictures and add the additional web sights to visit and read 'bout the CMP history.
If only I had a scanner I'd send a picture of my mom wearing a medal on her blazer holding my sister who was just several weeks old in 1941. Come to think of it maybe the other medal is in the same chest where the old family 'stuff' is. I'm 100 % positive both medals are solid gold and exactly like the photos put here.
As a side note: George Jacobsen retired to Africa and lived a grand life as a WH for several outfits, even going out with the Zambezian Game Dept. (he was a buddy to the major domo of the dept.) to do game control work and take care of 'problem lions', which were his favorite game to hunt. He was known among the natives as knocking down game with a rifle as the game was running, that's how good a shot he was !
