Hi all

I have quite a lot of information on this relative and I know most of the medals he was awarded but I am trying to identify the ribbons on his uniform in the attached photo. Date taken is unknown. William enlisted as a regular in 1946 and died of his wounds 9th September 1950. I have the list of medals from the Korean War Veterans Memorial Honor Roll and these include - Purple Heart, National Defense medal, Korean service medal, United Nations Service Medal, Republic of Korea War Service medal, Combat Infantryman Badge. Also the Republic of Korea Presidential Unit citation.
I am presuming this photo would have be taken before Korea so my hunch is the ribbons don't really relate to Korea. I have looked at the many websites about ribbons and badges but can't seem to identify anything.
Any thoughts from anybody would be good.

Raising this one as it appears to have been overlooked.
