WWI #'d Service Medal from the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen to 11th Regt. US Marines

WWI Service Medal, presented by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen (BRT) with wonderful engraved top bar: "11th REGT. U.S. MARINES" (USMC, Marine Corps). The medallion depicts Liberty standing with a child in nice relief detail and reads: "FOR SERVICE IN THE WORLD WAR FOR LIBERTY AND FOR FREEDOM OF NATIONS". The reverse of the top bar shows the number: "12492" and the reverse of the medallion reads: "Presented by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen To Its Members Who Gave Their Service To Their Country For The Sake Of Democracy And Uplifting Of Humanity". This #'d medal is a unique addition to a USMC collection.
