    Description

    This is a United States Navy Good Conduct medal group.  The Good Conduct medal has a replacement full wrapped, swivel locking clasp brooch and what looks like a replaced ribbon.  The planchet is in very good condition, with no edge knocks.  It is officially engraved "James/Lee/Edminson/1932".  The group comes with a WW2 Victory medal, which has the original crimp type brooch and original ribbon.  The planchet is in excellent condition and it also comes with the original pin-back ribbon bar.  The group includes the American Campaign medal, that has the original crimp brooch and original ribbon.  The planchet is in excellent condition.
    This group of medal was awarded and issued to Chief Warrant Officer
    James Lee Edminson
    .   Mr. Edminson was born in Bakersfield, California, on May 17, 1910.  He first enlisted in the Navy on October 5, 1928, at Bakersfield, and was first trained by the Navy as an Electrician's Mate, later attaining the rank of Chief Electrician's Mate.  After service in WW2 and Korea, he was promoted to Chief Warrant Officer 4 (CWO4), on 1 October 1957.  He retired after almost 30 years of service, on 31 July 1958.  He died on November 12, 1994, at Walnut Creek, California, and is buried at the San Joaquin Valley National Cemertery, in Merced County, CA.
    Mr. Edminson was also awarded the American Defense Service medal with "FLEET" clasp, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign medal with one bronze service star, the Presidential Unit Citation ribbon, the Navy Occupation Service medal with Asia clasp, the Korean Service medal, and the United Nations Service medal (Korea).  The whereabouts of these other missing medals is unknown.
    I will provide a 5 page copy of his FOIA archival record, a copy of a picture of his headstone and a copy of his 1958 Navy Register showing his service and retirement dates, to the winning bidder.
