This medal was instituted on 31 May 1919 in four classes : 1st Class in bronze gilt with a rosette on the ribbon, 2nd Class in bronze gilt, 3rd Class in silvered bronze and 4th Class in bronze. This very common medal was jokingly referred to as the "Beans Medal" referring to the huge quantities of dried beans that were distributed during the war.
