I'm looking for information, photos etc, for these awards - awarded to foreigners for WW I services to France, made in approx 1921.

Also interested in purchase.

Hi,

their are various very diverse medals named this I think?

Different medals from different ministries in many variants... Do you mean to civilians or soldiers? Peace time or war time?

Like Chris mentioned, not that easy. Please be a bit more specific.

Thanks for your replies.

The medals I'm interested in were awarded in early 1921 to New Zealand civilians, in New Zealand, for assistance with French WW I war efforts, particularly for humane responses. There were approx 19 awards made to NZers - mostly to Mayors of main cities, Red Cross and other patriotic committees.

Hi there

Many thanks for your reply. Great information.

Now all I have to do is find out which grade(s) were awarded to Nerw Zealanders, and then where is the best place to obtain one !

Hello Gongz,

If you have the list of New-Zealanders who received this WWI medal, I can search the detail of awards...
