WWI peace medal!

[history hunter]

I was going around the same house tear downs in the middle of nowhere and decided to try a field across the road. As I was swinging along, I got a good signal and saw a large round object just laying on the ground that looked like a big coin. I wonder if it was disturbed some how and made it to the surface? I'm not sure how old it really is. Thanks for looking, enjoy the pics.

That is so totally cool

That's a really nice find. I think that it was made after WWII because WWI was referred to as "The Great War" not "World War" until after the second one was started or ended. Maybe an award given to veterans later in life? I like it and would have been very happy to take that home too. Good luck.

Very Nice Piece @@!!
Prior to WWII, it was referred to as both the 'World War' or the 'Great War',
just not WWI,
note legend on this 1919 Service Medal.

Thanks! I'd only heard of "The Great War"

WWI was also called, "The war to end all wars." yet something went amiss.
