Additional Notes: The American WW1 Wounded or Died in Service certificate is also known as a Meritorious Service Citation Certificate. They were given to both the dead (Died in Service) and wounded of the AEF after the war before the introduction of the Purple Heart in February of 1932 (recipients of this citation could apply for a Purple Heart). The documents read at the top, “Columbia Gives To Her Son The Accolade Of The New Chivalry Of Humanity.” Some are detailed enough to show the soldier’s unit while others just list their branch of service.
