Dude I'm 99% sure your great grandad made me an old fashioned in Brooklyn last weekend.

This dude doesn't make drinks in Brooklyn.

He crafts them.

Do you know when and where he served? I have a similar picture of my great-great grandpa who was deployed to the Philippines during the Spanish-American War.

My Great Grandpa came from Hungary and and later moved to Yugoslavia. So I think he probably served in one of these two.

The badge / medal on the right is red/white cloth black medal, and if I remember correctly it’s for a lengthy time on “the front” can’t remember if it’s 12-18 months. I’ve had one in my collection and recognized it.

Don’t know about the other two. I’ll go through my extensive photo archive’s to find the one I had. If you zoom into the top of the cross you’ll see two spots (iirc) it’s two crowns. eBay is a good place to search.
