Definitely a non-official award. Maybe from an association of holders of the War Cross? GM1

Difficult to see, but between 5 and 6 o´clock there is the name of the sculpture, Paul Dubois. Best regards, GM1

Hi Lambert: The Red Cross is not allowed on the Victory Medal, but indeed can be worn on the Conmemorative Medal of the War 1914-1918. Best regards, GM1

Hi Rob, I can confirm that there is a faint Paul DUBOIS inscription. Pictures will follow. Thanks a lot for the useful information! Best regards, GM1

Thank you very much for the additional information Paul! Best regards. GM1

Thanks a lot Paul for your information! If awarded to participants of the African Campaign, this means that the number of medals is rather scarce also? I´m very happy that they have ended up in my collection . Best regards, GM1

Hi there: I have the following table medals, but I can´t find any information about them. There is a silver and a bronze version. Both a signed Fr. Huygelen and the silver one has Fonson stamped. Diameter is 90mm and weight about 450 g each. Any information is more than welcome! The adverse holds the inscription 1914 CONGO 1918

Here is my collection of Belgian Victory Medals: Upper row: Chez made models: first three by Alexander Leisek and the fourth by Riemer. Even so, the suspension on the Leisek exemplars are two different models. The first one bears the LA mark also in the laurel wreath. The other two don't have the LA mark on the adverse, but yes on the reverse. Lower row: First and fourth medal: normal Dubois model, second with no reverse, third with the "bronze" and "JC" marking. Can someone help me with the Lasso classification of these medals? I still do not have the book Best regards, GM1 P.D. More pictures with details will follow.
