The 1939–1945 Commemorative war medal (Шаблон:Lang-fr) is a commemorative medal of France established on 21 May 1946 to recognize individual participation in the Second World War.[1]

Award Statute

The 1939–1945 Commemorative war medal was awarded to all soldiers serving under French authority or under a French government in a state of war against the Axis nations, or present on board a warship or armed merchant vessel under these same authorities and/or governments; to French citizens, whether military or civilian, who fought against the Axis forces or their representatives; to foreign military who served as Frenchmen in formations at war against the Axis forces.[1]

A 1949 decree further added the members of the French passive resistance as potential recipients of the 1939–1945 Commemorative war medal.[2]

Award description

The 1939–1945 commemorative war medal is hexagonal and struck from bronze. It is 28mm at its widest and 38mm high excluding the suspension loop. The obverse bears the relief image of a rooster superimposed in front of a Cross of Lorraine, its wings spread out and standing on a broken chain. The reverse bears the relief semi-circular inscription "RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE" (Шаблон:Lang-en) over a sprig of laurel leaves and the inscription on three lines "GUERRE" "1939" "1945" (Шаблон:Lang-en).[1]

The medal hangs from a ribbon passing through the medal's built-in suspension loop. This silk moiré ribbon is 36mm wide and light blue with 3mm green stripes bordered in 1mm red at its edges, at its centre a vertical series of red "V" letters denoting "Victory".[1]

Twelve operational theatre clasps can be worn on the ribbon:[2]

The clasp "ITALIE" (Шаблон:Lang-en) was repealed in 1953 following the establishment of the 1943-1944 Italian campaign medal.[1]

Seven other clasps bearing the years "1939", "1940", "1941", "1942", "1943", "1944" and "1945" were available when the deed to commemorate took part outside the theatre and/or dates cited above.[2]

Two further clasps were authorised for wear on the 1939–1945 commemorative war medal:[2]

  • DÉFENSE PASSIVE (Шаблон:Lang-en) for those receiving an invalid's pension following injury from work aimed at the protection of the civilian population (decree of 2 August 1949).
  • ENGAGÉ VOLONTAIRE (Шаблон:Lang-en) for those able to prove they voluntarily enlisted for service in the 1939-1945 war.
