Numbered/traceable Mexican Border Service medal to 1st N. Dakota Infantry

Description

This is a numbered (19740) Mexican Border Service medal, with lapel pin.  The medal has the original full wrapped brooch, and it appears that the ribbon has been recently replaced.  The planchet is in excellent condition with no edge knocks.  The numbers are well struck, very clear, and very easy to read.  The set comes with a U.S. Army lapel pin that has "MEXICAN BORDER SERVICE", encircling the Army eagle with "1916" on top on the eagle and USA on a shield on the eagles breast feathers.
This medal was awarded to Jerome Baglien, Cook, of Company L. of the 1st North Dakota Infantry Regiment.  He was born in Hillsboro, ND, on April 23, 1893.  He was mustered into service on July 3, 1916 at Fort Lincoln, near Bismarck, ND.  The regiment was later entrained to Mercedes, Texas, arriving  in late July.  After drill and border guard service, he was mustered out of service with his Company at Fort Snelling, Minnesota, on January 23, 1917.  I could not find any record of his service in WW1, however, he did serve in WW2, as a Staff Sergeant with the 9205 Tech Service Unit.  He was awarded the American Defense Service medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign medal, the American Campaign medal, the Army Good Conduct medal and the WW2 Victory medal (whereabouts of these issued medals is unknown).  He died on August 24, 1949, and is buried at the Hillsboro Cemetery #1, in Hillsboro, ND.
An interesting note to this North Dakota soldier, is that he was the Father of Jerome Warren Baglien.  Jerome W. was a Radioman third class (RM3c) during WW2 and was aboard the USS Sculpin (SS191) when it was sunk, near Truk Island, in a surface battle with the IJN Yamagumo Japanese Destroyer, in November of 1943.  Jerome W. was rescued by the Japanese Destroyer with other Sculpin survivors.  He and the other survivors were then transported to Japan on the "Hell Ship" Aircraft Carrier IJN Chuyo.  On the way, in December of 1943, the Chuyo was torpedoed and sunk by the USS Sailfish (SS192), killing Jerome W. and about 20 other USS Sculpin survivors.  In an ironic twist to this naval history story, is that the USS Sailfish, was originally the USS Squalus, that was accidentally sunk off the coast of New Hampshire, in 1939.  The Squalus was found by her sister ship the USS Sculpin, and assisted in the recovery and rescue of Squalus sailors.
