Yozgat Müzesi’nden Bir Müttefikler Arası Zafer Madalyası

Abstract

The study originates from a medal found in the warehouses of the Yozgat Museum; this medal turned out to be the Greek example of the 'Inter-Allied Victory Medal’ and was coined in 1922 in about 200,000 units. This exemplar is therefore part of a commemorative series in which all the allied forces, at the end of the First World War, decided to remember the victory against Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire with the issue of medals which, despite having elements in common, were distinguished on the basis of the country of origin. Army personnel who had been wounded or killed in action, died of their wounds, or who had served at least three months of active service at the front in Macedonia between 9 September 1916 and the truce of 7 September 1918, in the Russian campaign between the day of departure and the day of embarkation in Russia or Romania for the return to Greece, at the front in Thrace until July 17, 1920, were entitled to it. The medal was accompanied by a 'Certificate' with the name of the consignee
