leon21 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 In WW1 the bronze war medal was awarded to those who had served as labourers and porters behind the lines. Given largely to Indian, Chinese, Maltese and South African Labour Corps, and those who served in the Maltese and Macedonian Mule Corps. Approximately 110,000 to 240,000 were issued making this a scarce medal, which is now being faked. Below are two images of medals. 1st medal issued to a member of the Maltese Labour Corps. 2nd medal issued to a member of the Chinese Labour Corps. Both have only recipients number and their units inscribed on them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
