Here is one of my favorite of all Civil War veteran soldier's medals. This is the Shiloh Battle Field Association Survivors Badge "We Now Drink From the Same Canteen". The pendant measures approximately 1.75" x 3" and is crafted out of gilded bronze. A handsome badge given to the members of the National Association of the Battle of Shiloh Survivors. The badge features a hanger in the shape of a log with "Shiloh" in relief along its side. Suspended from the center of the hanger is a small can labeled "Coffee". The center of the large circular drop features a scene of the battlefield with "Shiloh Battle Field Association April 6-7, 1862" in relief around the edge. The reverse features a U.S. shield and two soldiers supporting an American flag, symbolizing veterans' reconciliation. Surrounding the scene the slogan "We Now Drink From the Same Canteen". This one has been in my collection for a couple of years and I decided to let it go.
