      Hi Bill, I think you're right! To much strain can cause the ball to break. Impossible to fit the ring without damaging the back side of the ball. Cheers, GM1

      There are no signs of sawing. I think it just is a manufacturing failure. Any one else with such a problem? Thanks! GM1

      Some close-ups from the "broken" ball suspension: Apparently there are some rest of welding there? Any opinion more than welcome! Best regards, GM1

      Hi Rob, I post another picture: It the ball is definitely not closed, but it doesn't seem to be a crack. It look that it never has been closed at all. A manufacturing error? I don't know. Any explanation is more than welcome! Best regards, GM1

      Also notice the difference in the border at the back. The R-marks are clearly visible.

      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

      Actually he had 1 wounded chevron and 5 front service chevrons. An injury in the eye due to the explosion of a granate. Best regards. GM1

      Thank you very much for the additional information Paul! Best regards. GM1
    24. 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
