Awarded to those who served in the mobilized Belgian Army between 1 August 1914 and 11 November 1918.
This bronze medal, originally proposed by the French Field-Marshal Foch as an inter-allied medal and later thus accepted, was instituted on 15 July 1919. It is worn immediately after the IJzer Medal. Later Royal Decrees extended the award of this medal to various other recipients, e.g. participants of the African campaigns, merchant navy personnel and fishermen etc.
