Megan Posted November 14 Posted November 14 A good-looking piece and excellent condition... but the one nobody wanted to receive as it meant some loved one wasn't coming home. 1

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. 1
