Certificate for the family of servicemembers in the US Navy. Blue crest top left and red stamp bottom rightContext
John Lamson was a MM1c on Battleship Texas from May 1917 to June 1919. Throughout his time on Texas, he sent a letter to his family at least once a week, often more. Longer stretches of absence are explained either by movement across the Atlantic, or with the Grand Fleet.
This certificate would have been hung by the family of the service member in a prominent window back home.Collection
