Sergeant in the 53rd Military Police Company of the of the First United States Army with one wound stripe - same as a purple heart today. WWI victory medal with 2 bars. The other one with the blue/white ribbon ? ?

Loose is Mexican war campaign medal and what appears to be a Cuba service recognition medal awarded privately ?

Looks like one with blue ribbon is a state ww1 victory medal.

That the Spanish American war Veteran medal, and what looks like a NY state medal.
The Mex Border service medal should be numbered on the rim edge.

Really a great grouping!

Actualy that collar disk is the 53rd Pioneer Infantry Company M.
The 1st army patch is right, but I think the "v" red and white strip in the legs is signal corps designation. I will get back on that one. That book is at the shop.
