    This document could possibly...possibly lead to my finding a Purple Heart Medal one day if he made application for one and it still survives. This is the document awarding Major Wingate the Meritorious Service Certificate July 1, 1919, and therefore (for a brief time) made him eligible for the PH in 1932.

    I think this may be an insert from his funeral, although I am not 100% on that.

    Here is the photo side of the identity card carried in the leather Air Service wallet shown in the post following the ID cards. These are somewhat fragile, so they will remain on display outside of the wallet.

    Now on to the photos. In addition to some family shots, there are two that feature General of the Armies Pershing.

    "Cadet Harry L. Wingate" on reverse. Clowning around.
