Description: This auction is for a Original WWI French Army Medal for the War Wounded Nice original WWI medal with original ribbon. Very nice condition with good enamel. The Medal for the War Wounded (French: Médaille des blessés de guerre) was originally a mere insignia in the form of an ribbon awarded for wounds received in the line of duty while facing an enemy. The insignia was established by the law of 11 December 1916, based on an idea by the nationalist writer Maurice Barrès. Although originally established as a temporary measure, the insignia survived for a century in some form or another. It could be awarded to wounded soldiers, prisoners of war, to World War II deportees and internees from the French resistance and to soldiers wounded in more recent conflicts. A variety of unofficial medals in the form of a red enameled star suspended by the same ribbon appeared very early on and although tolerated for wear by the authorities, were not official until recently.Please feel free to ask any questions.
