Our family reunion fell on the 250th army anniversary and I coincidentally received my grandfather's WWI tunic. It is canvas with a Nehru style collar. There are two chevron stripes in green, one on each sleeve, and an additional red stripe on the left sleeve. Below the left epaulette is a green 10 with a dash running through it. On the collar are two round medallions, one inscribed 359 HQ with crossed rifles, the other with four overlaid letters, U, S, A, H--or N...the middle of the H is not horizontal, rather slanted. He has two medals. One might have been two stars set in a flag--the flag is deteriorated plastic striping. The other medal is also a bar. It is red with two end stripes in yellow.
Any help with interpreting what these mean is appreciated. The rest of the family doesn't know. I know he was a courier, and delivered a last message to a general that the war was over. I wish I could post pictures.
