FRANCE: WW1 Verdun Commemorative 
Medal, with the clasp "Verdun" in its box of 
issue. 
This is the rare version of the Vernier model 
with ball suspender instead of "key ring". 
The medal comes with its diploma of issue to 
a Warrant Officer of the 2nd Mixed Reg. of 
Zuaves and (Algerian) Skirmishers - a Light 
Infantry Regiment. 
Note that the Zuaves and the Algerian 
Skirmishers were among the most decorated 
units of the French Army. 
The Verdun medals were unofficial awards, 
by the municipality of Verdun, to military 
personnel who participated in the February 
1916 battle of the Verdun fort.
The medal was designed by Seraphin Emile 
Vernier, with the name of the medalist 
engraved on it together with the motto "on 
ne passe pas" (you will not pass), and the 
date "21 Fevrier 1916" on the reverse side.
This is the rarest version of the "Vernier 
type" of the medal. 
The diplomas to Warrant Officers are rare.
