Not at all. The medal was re-created in 1932 in honor of the 200th
anniversary of Washington's birth. Sometime there after, it was
decided to retroactively award the medal to all personnel who had
been awarded "wound stripes" in WW1.

I just checked, it came in 1932. I can't find any pictures of a wound stripe.
Do you know where I can see one? There may be some among all the stuff. He also
mixed in a couple of items from the Spanish American War but we don't know
whose they are.
