    Hey all, added this one to the collection.  Medal for the families of those who died in the war 

     

    All I need now is the Civilian version of this medal to complete the set.  Anyone got one?

     

    Stay well my friends

    A good-looking piece and excellent condition... but the one nobody wanted to receive as it meant some loved one wasn't coming home.

    True, but considering that these medals were given in late 1930s, by that time families already knew their soldiers didn't make it back from the war.

    Excellent point!  These medals were instituted in 1933.

    Sadly that was the reality
