Product Information
Specification
IMPERIAL GERMANY: Colonial Commemorative 
medal, for the Combatants of the Colonial 
Protection Force - Kaiser Wilhelm II, 1912.
Rare example in bronze gilt.
On the obverse: The portrait or Kaiser Wilhelm II
On the reverse: "DEN TAPFEREN STREITERN 
FUR DEUTSCHLANDS EHRE" (To the Brave 
Combatants of Germany's Honor).
The medal was instituted in 1912 to be awarded to 
combatants of the German Colonial Protection 
Force, or to combatants abroad who got involved 
in armed conflicts while protecting Germans or 
the German interests. In addition to the Protection 
Force, the crews of the Imperial Navy Corvettes 
Furst Bismarck and Olga who fought in the 
Cameroon campaign were also eligible for the 
Medal. 
The medal was awarded only whenever no other 
commemorative medal was instituted for the 
specific campaign - so those who had received 
the German South West Africa Medal (1904-1908), 
or the China Campaign medal (1900-1901) were 
not eligible for the award. 
As a consequence the medal is quite rare.450
