Description: ORIGINAL! WW1 FRENCH 1914–1918 INTER-ALLIED VICTORY MEDAL (NO RIBBON) WW1 FRENCH 1914–1918 INTER-ALLIED VICTORY MEDAL (NO RIBBON) The 1914–1918 Inter-Allied Victory medal (French: "Médaille Interalliée de la Victoire 1914–1918") was a French commemorative medal established on 20 July 1922. It was the French version of a common allied campaign medal where each allied nation issued a Victory Medal to their own nationals, all issues having certain common features, including the same ribbon, a winged figure of victory on the obverse and a similar inscription on the reverse, the French version reading "LA GRANDE GVERRE POUR LA CIVILISATION 1914-1918". It was awarded to all soldiers who served three months, consecutive or not, between 2 August 1914 and 11 November 1918 in the war zone. It was also awarded to civilian nurses, aliens (civilian or military) who served directly under French command, marshals and generals who had a command for at least three months, prisoners of war from Alsace and Lorraine who then served in the French forces. Article 10 of the establishing law states: "The right to the medal is also granted to soldiers who were killed by the enemy or died from wounds of war and those who died of disease or injury incurred in service." The next of kin of those killed or died were required to procure the medal at their own expense. EXTREMELY FINE WITH SOME MODERATE USE, HANDLING AND A DESIRABLE DARK BRONZE PATINA FROM ITS 102+ YEARS. (please see pictures) THIS IS NOT A REPRODUCTION. PLEASE SEE MY 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK SCORE AND BUY WITH CONFIDENCE.
