That's awesome Steve!!

I know how it feels to find a piece of our war history! I found an Asiatic-Pacific WW2 campaign medal a couple years back.

(G1100) An Italian Medal showing a winged victory angel flying over a map with a country below. There is also the designer's name of AFFER to the rim of the medal. To the obverse of the medal, it has the wording "2.ARMATA OLTRE LA META" and shows an eagle sitting on a tank with guns and bayonets bristling all over the place. A nice designed award, this one has no ribbon or fixing.
GBP £55.00 (UK Pounds)

The caption for the medal reads: "Guerra 1915-18" (War of 1915-1918; or WWI) and the price is 40 euros.
