From residents of Blackstone on his return from ACTIVE SERVICE. For small communities to raise funds for their return soldiers, part of the monies allocated for the commission of gold medals. While not military issue, I view these keepsakes as medals for they are given in the same spirit and perhaps even greater gratitude as men arrived home to their families. The return of a soldier to his hometown is cause for hope, particularly in a war as brutal as World War One.
