The Marne Medal was a French medal awarded to soldiers who had fought in the First Battle of the Marne, the Second Battle of the Marne or both engagements, particularly those who took part in fighting between 6 and 12 September 1914 on the Senlis front at Verdun.
It was inaugurated on 21 August 1937 by the Les Soldats de la Marne association, later succeeded by the Mondement 1914 association.
The Cross of the Veterans of King Albert I is an unofficial medal and was made available by purchase in the late 1960s and 1970s to all Allied veterans of the First World War who had served in Belgium during that war, or to their next of kin.
The Veterans of King Albert Medal is a gilt metal Maltese Cross with scroll and swivel crown suspension; the face with a circular central medallion bearing the helmeted head of King Albert I. The reverse side is inscribed LES VETERANS DU ROI ALBERT 1 ER 1909-1934. (THE VETERANS OF KING ALBERT I 1909-1934).
The medals are swing mounted on a clasp as worn on original silk ribbons. The last medal, obviously purchased much later is not attached.
