German medal awarded to World War I combatants for bravery. It was established by Prince Ernest II (1908-1918) on February 20, 1915. Initially, the medal was issued in bronze, but due to a shortage of the metal, it was made of copper-plated zinc, and from 1918, of gray zinc.
In total, approximately 9,000 individuals received the medal, including 515 bronze medals.
