    1915 Oval Eagle POW helper medal?


    Recommended Posts

    It does read "Aid for german war prisoners 1915" - but thats all i can tell you.

    Also its interesting as who was able to help german-war-prisoners in 1915 and how these people where able to get a medal from the "enemy". As if not direct help should be mentioned it could be given for donations which then might be sent via the red-cross to the prisoner camps.

    But thats only a thought of mine.

    Ed, I don't know if there is anything on the rim. I'm trying to find out some info for a friend. I will ask him.

    Christian, thanks for your thoughts - they are appreciated and sensible. Something along the lines of the Gold-fur-Eiserne medals but for sending packages/clothes/food/etc to POWs. It's looking like this is an obscure unknown with no definitive info available.

    Thanks to all for your contributions!

    Regards

    Mike
