The Depot Brigades also received soldiers returning home at the end of the war and completed their out processing and discharges. Depot Brigades were organized into numbered battalions (1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion, etc.), which in turn were organized into numbered companies. The medal in the flowers section is the World War I Victory Medal. Known until 1947 simply as the "Victory Medal," it was awarded to any member of the U.S. military who had served in the armed forces between the following dates in the following locations: 6 April 1917 to 11 November 1918 for any military service; 12 November 1918, to 5 August 1919 for service in European Russia; 23 November 1918, to 1 April 1920 for service with the American Expeditionary Force Siberia.Kansas ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PVT I CO 164 Depot Brigade World War I.
