Four Thrift Army War Savings Service Buttons. Buttons worn to demonstrate patriotism and a commitment to save money and buy war bonds.
All four buttons feature the same design with slight variation. Each button features a different military ranking that could signify the amount of war bonds that an individual purchased showing their greater commitment to the war effort.
Each button has a red border with "U.S. War Savings Service" in white lettering around the edge. The center is a blue background with "Thrift Army" and military ranking insignia in white lettering. A center white band with the military ranking in red lettering.
05A: Ranked as Private with "W.S.S" instead of an Insignia
05B: Ranked as Corporal with corresponding insignia
05C: Ranked as Sergeant with corresponding insignia
05D: Ranked as 2nd. Lieutenant with corresponding insignia
