DescriptionWhite ceramic covering with gold lettering, name of Jos. A. Sedam at top and U.S. Signal Corp on the bottom. In the center there is a G.A.R. badge, with two cross United States flags and two cross signal flags as backdrops. It has a red, white and blue ribbon as a strap. The top of the stopper is very loose.

H 14th Regiment NJV, who transferred to the U.S. Signal Corps on February 27th, 1864, and was discharged on June 23rd, 1865. In 1912, he was appointed aide-de-camp to the department commander in Boggs-Janeway Post No. 67 during the 45th annual encampment of the New Jersey department of the Grand Army of the Republic. He was also listed as a past commander for that post.
