Nick Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Any ideas on what and who this was awarded to.I think it says Honour the Worker who defends the land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scowen Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 "The worker to honour, the homeland to defend"This is one of the so called Limes medals, issued to it's workers by one of the contractors involved in the building of the West Wall. These were made before the institution of the official West Wall medal.The name of the company is written across the building.Hope this is of help.CheersDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
