Austria Austrian KFA

[Bronzemonger]

A newbie here....

Perhaps this is a silly question but I need an answer in order to catalog several dozen large Austrian KFA commemorative medallions.

Can someone please tell me what the acronym "KFA" stands for? Perhaps also point me in the direction where I can find more info?

Thanks, in advance. S

KFA = Kriegs Fürsorge Amt - War Welfare Office

Thanks Ian. This would make sense as these 'art medals' were created and sold to assist in many aspects of the war, be it the war effort itself or, help for hosptals, veterans, prisoners of war, etc.. I had been thinking it was an internal military organization, thanks for the clarification!! Scott
