This is an extremely rare Second World War solid bronze medallic award. This is a medal issued by the French Red Cross (CRF ; Croix-Rouge Francais) in Egypt. The rectangular medal has been awarded for helping prisoners of war in the Post Said camp. Whether the medal was awarded to an individual, an authority or an organisation, I do not know. The medal (6.00 cm x 14.50 cm) depicts a chained man reaching out to a Red Cross sun. Incised, on the reverse, is the following caption;’ PORT-SAID AIDE AUX PRISONNIERES DE GUERRE 1943′. The medal is also numbered’39′ on the reverse. I have seen other similar Port Said CRF bronze POW Camp medals(different numbers and design). They are rare enough. However, I have never seen this issue anywhere. This item is in the category “Collectables\Militaria\World War II (1939-1945)\Medals/ Ribbons”.
