Product Information
Specification
FRANCE: Medal for military merit "Valor and 
Discipline 1870" (or simply "Military Medal" in 
French). 
This is the 8th version of the medal with the coat 
of arms being attached on the medallion with 
loop and ring (instead of a hinge used at the 
common WW1 type) and star instead of the year 
"1870". 
This is the WW2 era variation of the medal, as 
issued by the 4th French Republic until since 
1951 and until 1961.
The Military Medal was created by Emperor Louis 
Napoleon in 1852 to be awarded specifically to 
non-commissioned officers (NCOs) and soldiers 
for completion of 8 years of military service, for 
bravery in front of the enemy as well as for acts 
of courage and devotion to duty. 
The military medal ranks 3rd among the Decora-
tions and Orders of the French Republic, being 
inferior only to the Order of the National Legion 
of Honor and to the Order of the Liberation. 
There are nine main versions and nearly 30 
variations of the medal.
