REFERENCES ON WWI CITY AND STATE MILITARY SERVICE MEDALS

- Revised Comprehensive List of World War I Service Medals Issued By States, Counties, Cities & Towns by Louis W. Small, 1990, 84pp
Larry Dziubek contacted token and medal dealer Steve Tanenbaum. Steve was aware of the Small book and two others - a 3rd edition of Planck and a book by Dougles Bryce which covers state medals of all wars.

- State Medals for War Service by Douglas W. Boyce, 1988
