    Apparently, it's a medal commerorating the First World War Justin. I've never seen one before, but I like the style of it. Hopefully someone else will chime in who has some history on it.

    Never thought it was so special. Thinking of the history behind it and such. I don't know why but the ones in photos look gold and mine is like.. brown/copper looking. :?

    Yours is in lesser condition than the pictured ones, and the copper has oxidized to make the brown color

    Very proud to own a very special medal. I know my grandmother's father wasn't in the army so.. I wonder where he got it.. :/ Mystery.
