White ribbon with blue and red printing. The actual ribbon meas. approx. 2.50 x 6.50 inches. The surface of the ribbon has an off white coloring that looks to be more from age than dirt.

VOL. 1ST DIVISION, 3D BRIGADE NINTH ARMY CORPS.”  Below this are shaking hands done in blue ink with “ROUNDHEADS” below it in red. At very bottom is “COMPANY” in blue ink.

The reverse of the ribbon lists 26 of the regiment’s battles and when they were organized. This is all done in red ink.

There is no pin on the ribbon. There is light wear along the bottom edge and the top has some small stress separations.
