FRANCE. 2 Military Medals: War Cross WWI (1914-1918)

Discover this unique historical set of two French military decorations, consisting of 2 military medals:

• The Croix de Guerre 1914-1918 – an iconic decoration of the First World War, a symbol of bravery and heroism on the front.
• A Military Medal from 1870 – which perfectly complements this duo of framed military decorations.

The medals are presented under an oval glass frame (21 × 16 cm), ready to be displayed in a collection, office or room dedicated to military history.

The Croix de Guerre 1914-1918 was instituted by decree in 1915 to recognize French and Allied soldiers cited for acts of bravery in operations during the Great War.

It is one of the most representative decorations of the commitment of the Poilus on the battlefields.

Each copy bears witness to the memory of the combatants, their sacrifices and the intensity of the fighting from 1914 to 1918.

The association of the Croix de Guerre with the 1870 Military Medal gives this lot a very strong historical and symbolic dimension, that of the battles of 1870 and the Great War.

Ideal for militaria enthusiasts or collectors of Great War memorabilia.

It is aimed at both military history enthusiasts and demanding collectors, offering an aesthetic and historically rich entry point into the world of French military decorations.
