Awarded to the defenders of the town and fortresses of Liège in 1914.
This bronze medal was first awarded in April 1920 at a ceremony where the Crown Prince, Leopold (the later King Leopold III) and General Leman (the town's commander in August 1914, when Liège had to be defended against the German invader) were present. Although the medal is not an official one, wearing it by military personnel on active duty was tolerated. Inhabitants of Liège who had received the Political Prisoner's Medal and had been convicted by a German court in Liège were also entitled to this medal.
