Original U.S. CIvil War Grand Army of the Republic Medal, Army & GAR Insignia, and Ephemera Lot - 16 Items Military Awards Medals Badges Insignia William CowperThe Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) was a fraternal organization composed of veterans of the Union Army (United States Army), Union Navy (U. S. Navy), and the Marines who served in the American Civil War. It was founded in 1866 in Decatur, Illinois, and grew to include hundreds of "posts" (local community units) across the North and West. It was dissolved in 1956 at the death of its last member. This is a very nice lot of GAR related medals,
