Suspended from the top bar by a single link is an etched silver diamond shaped frame with crossed swords and a cartridge box at center. Swords and box have engraved highlights such as the ribbed grips on the sword hilts and the oval “US” plate on the box. Set inside the decorative frame is a multicolored piece of cloth showing red, white, blue and yellow. Cloth has moderate surface dirt from age and storage.

The 15th Corps was part of the Army of the Tennessee and saw action in all of the campaigns of that army. The Corps was commanded in turn by Grant, Sherman, Logan, Osterhaus, and Hazen.
