Large Group of One Virginia National Guard Soldier's Marksmanship Medals

The group is comprised of 34 shooting medals and marksmanship badges which were awarded to Thomas Lohr, with the medals reflecting a period of more than twenty years, from the pre-World War I era into the 1930's. Lohr was a member of the Virginia National Guard, and he was commissioned as an officer in World War I. The group includes a portrait photograph of Lohr as an enlisted man in World War I, wearing several marksmanship awards. The group also includes a 1912 document appointing Lohr as a Corporal in the First Infantry Regiment of the Virginia Volunteers as well as Lohr's 1918 dated commission as a Second Lieutenant of Infantry. Many of the medals are engraved with Lohr's name as the recipient. The group also includes a pair of screw back distinctive unit insignia for the 116th Infantry Regiment, a component of the 29th Division, and both bear Lohr's name on the reverse. Overall an impressive group in very condition, with the documents showing age toning.
