France Did WW1 KIAs get campaign medals?

[Rich]

Hi,

So, French KIAs received either Legion d'Honneur and C de G (officers) or Medaille Militaire and C deG (other ranks).

Questions I've been puzzling over:

1) Did they also receive the 3 campaign medals (Victory, Commem. and (if entitled) C du Combattant)?

2) What make of C de G did they receive - a generic 1914-18 one, or does it depend upon year of death?

3) In these instances was the C de G always awarded with a Star, or a Palm?

4) Was this the same practice during WW2?

TIA for any help; just been wondering about these things for a bit.
