Old Copper Medal

[rammjäger]

Hello,
the Grandmother of a friend found some years ago this old medal
in Uruguay while digging in the garden.
It was made in Argentina for the uruguayan Red Cross conmemorating
its help for the wounded and the fallen soldiers in the civil war.
Probably a unique piece of that time....
Friendly greetings and HH.
Mike

Yes,in mein Vaterland I had the chance to hunt some good places.
But unfortunatelly I had
to suspend the hunting and return to Germany.
The very last days I had an offer from a landowner to search in his grounds.
Just the place where some battle took place at the begining of the revolutionary
period and where they say there could be a hidden treasure too, according to
the legend. It was a pity, because I had already no more time left for hunting.
If this invitation could just have been made some months earlier !

Ignorant of me, which Civil War?

--deleted-- of me, which Civil War?

Yes, for us there was a civil war period too.
The "Blancos against the Colorados" Whites against Reds.
From the early confrontations in the 1890´s to the very last battle that
in Masoller 1904 took place with the death of Gral. Aparicio Saravia
(the lider of the White fraction).

PS.: this Pic I posted here already .It dates to the civil war period
late 1890´s
