Framed For Display, WW1 French Croix De Guerre & Médaille Militaire 5 Medal Group To French Soldier Fernand Emile **arang, 39th Infantry Regiment Who Served Throughout The Great War. M 131 - M 131 The Médaille militaire (Military Medal) is a military decoration of the French Republic first established in 1852 by Emperor Napoleon III for award to Privates and Non-Commissioned Officers who distinguished themselves by acts of bravery in action against an enemy force. The Croix de Guerre (Cross of War) is a military decoration of France. It was first created in 1915 and consists of a square-cross medal on two crossed swords, hanging from a ribbon with various degree pins. The decoration was awarded during World War I, again in World War II, and in other conflicts. The Croix de Guerre may either be awarded as an individual or unit award to those soldiers who distinguish themselves by acts of heroism involving combat with the enemy. The medal is awarded to those who have been "mentioned in despatches", meaning a heroic deed or deeds were performed meriting a citation from an individual's headquarters unit. This is an original WW1 French Croix de Guerre & Médaille Militaire medal group to a named soldier who served throughout the Great War. The Croix de Guerre & Médaille Militaire are accompanied by 3 other French WW1 campaign / commemorative medals (The Commemorative medal of the War of 1914 - 1918. The Victory Medal and Croix du Combattant ). The medals are all mounted on a decorative printed setting headed in French ‘Medals Of The Great War’ and has a panel with the soldiers details handwritten in old French text (we are uncertain what the first letter /letters of the Surname are). The text also includes in French ‘did the whole campaign’. The medals are in excellent condition with original ribbons. The Croix de Guerre ribbon has a bronze star. The medals are nicely mounted in a glazed wood frame with brass mounts. The frame measures 21 ½” x 18” x 1 ½”. The rear of the frame has a metal ring for wall hanging.
