Known in Germany and Austria under the name Iron Crescent Ottoman War Medal (Ottoman , A arb Madalyas) was donated on March 1, 1915 by Sultan Mehmed V. And consists of only one class. It was awarded to members of the Ottoman Empire and also to relatives of its allies. In English-speaking countries, it is also referred to as the “Gallipoli Star”. The Iron Crescent was the last award donated by the Ottoman Empire. The war medal is in the form of a five-pointed, red-enameled star on which the crescent rests. In the middle is the cipher (“Tughra”) of the Sultan, including the date (1333 = 1915). The order was awarded with an official certificate. In addition to the sultan, the two supreme commanders Enver Pascha and Liman von Sanders were entitled to the award ceremony. With the truce of the Ottoman Empire on October 30, 1918, the award was not awarded. After 1920, however, the Sultan refused to recognize other than his own awards. The Turkish law of November 21, 1951, expressly permits the wearing of former imperial Ottoman orders and decorations, as far as they had been conferred for merit in war.
