RARE WW1 1st GOLD STAR MOTHERS PILGRIMAGE OFFICIAL NAMED NUMBERED MEDAL MISSOURI

Rare, medal PILGRIMAGE OF GOLD STAR MOTHERS. Measures approximately 1 5/8″ across at the name tag, and the medal measures approximately 7/8″ across at the widest. The name tag reads, in raised letters, Mrs. The medal is numbered 3318 on the reverse along with the hallmark of Bailey Banks and Biddle. A finely made piece! The name tag portion is tarnished and has a number of black spots. The little name plate is bent upwards in the center — not creased so it could probably be straightened. The ribbon is in poor condition — split in several places, faded and soiled. The medal shows moderate wear and tarnish with surface dirt and some black spots, with a large one on the internal angle of the star on the left. In March 1929, eleven years after World War I, the U. Congress passed a law authorizing the use of government funds to pay for mothers and widows of fallen veterans (“Gold Star” mothers and widows) to visit their loved ones buried on the battlefields of Europe. This unprecedented program honoring the “Gold Star” mothers and widows was entrusted to the Quartermaster Corps for implementation. Some 6,693 Gold Star mothers and war widows made the pilgrimage abroad. This is a hobby, not a living, so I try to keep it fun, otherwise why do it. _gsrx_vers_827 GS 7.0.13 (827).

WW1 Turkish war medal (Gallipoli Star), maker marked BB & Co -Enamel version

With intack pin Marker marked B. During WWI, British and Commonwealth Forces called this The Gallipoli Star. The Germans and Austrians called it the Der Eisner Halbmond (The Iron Crescent). When the Sultan Mehmed V created this decoration in March 1915, he named it simply the Harp Madalysi (War Medal). Its likely that this decoration was inspired by the Iron Cross, awarded by the Ottoman Empires German Allies. Like the Iron Cross First Class, It was worn on the breast pocket. Unlike the Iron Cross, it had only one class. By the Sultans decree, it was bestowed upon those persons who show gallantry and sacrifice, without differentiating any rank and position/title. These persons can be either nationals of the Sublime Ottoman State or allied forces and navies and voluntary nursing units and public servants and employees within the armies and navies. At the center is the Sultans Tughra a sort of royal cypher and below it the Islamic year 1333 (1915). In April of 1915 The Allies launched an invasion of the Gallipoli Peninsula. By the time it was over in January 1916, both sides had suffered heavily; Over 141,000 Allied casualties and 251,000 Turks. It was during this period that the decoration became associated with Gallipoli. Actually, it could be awarded for actions occurring from the start of the war, and continued to be awarded until the end of the war. These were highly sought after by Australian and New Zealand troops in the middle east generally taken from POW or the dead as souvenirs. Becoming hard to find these days in this condition.
