pattiewhack Pillar of the Community Canada 1152 Posts	Posted 04/03/2007 11:18 am Wow... I just realized when I posted last that I have over 500 posts, which means I am due for another contest. (Some of you may remember my saying this in my last contest) The question I have for you does not have anything to do with coins, but military history. I have here three medals of mine. I want you to tell me: a.)Country of origin b.)Why it was awarded c.)When (Campaign years work fine) Note that the orange medal has the years 1914-1918 on it. THIS IS NOT THE ANSWER TO c.) For this medal, I want more specific dates. Prize will be... a SURprise! Contest will end when I see a right set of answers, which leaves room for everyone. Anyone is eligible, and you can post as many times as you want! Have fun!

pattiewhack Pillar of the Community Canada 1152 Posts	Posted 04/03/2007 12:48 pm Going good... I see I may need to give some hints though. You are right about the first one in the Japan respect. Here is a better pic. Reverse: Image: Close up reverse.jpg 33.79 KB Number two is from the Somme. Keep in mind it is a CROSS. I'll do a close up of the maker for you, which should give you the origin if you can read it. Close up of makers mark: Image: Makers mark.jpg 10.06 KB Number three. You are on the right track- it is Canadian- see if you can decode the cipher on the front- which tells you the reigning monarch at the time it was made. Close up of crest Image: crest close-up.jpg 13.29 KB: Keep it up- your on the right track! Edited by pattiewhack 04/03/2007 12:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
monster Valued Member United States 414 Posts	Posted 04/03/2007 1:49 pm I think it is the second one. It might be from canada or French. I couldn't read the mark very well. I think is french. It must from a republic country since it comes without the crown, right? Edited by monster 04/03/2007 1:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
