This is a Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) encampment medal dated 1902 for the 37th National Encampment. This medal is bronze depicting the nation's capital with a blue enameled ribbon bottom border. The back side has a bail that is broken from its mount on one side and a brief description of the medal.The GAR founded soldiers’ homes, was active in relief work and in pension legislation. Five members were elected President of the United States and, for a time, it was impossible to be nominated on the Republican ticket without the endorsement of the GAR voting block. The final Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic was held in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1949 and the last member, Albert Woolson, died in 1956 at the age of 109 years. The GAR transformed into the SUVCW in 1906 after the last Civil War veteran died. Provenance is from the J.M. Davis Arms Museum.
