This is my first post to this mailing list. I'm hoping someone out there can help me. I have inherited a wooden and medal medallion that I think is a commemorative medallion issued to the survivor's of the siege of Vicksburg. Ingraved on it are the words: "P. Doren; Co. B; 7th Mo; Vicksburg". I received this from my grandmother who claimed it belonged to her father-in-law, John Doran. However, no John Doran served in Co B, 7th Missouri infantry, but a Patrick Doran did. Patrick could be my great grandfather's brother. Does anyone know if these medallions were issued to survivor's or to commemorate a death at Vicksburg?
