German War Medal of Honour and Commemorative Medal 1914-18 German Legion of Honour
Deutsche Ehrendenkmünze des Weltkrieges der Deutschen Ehrenlegion
This is an unofficial, privately acquired World War 1914-18 commemorative medal. The medal was awarded in a version for combatants (with a frontline combatant clasp on the ribbon) and non-combatants (without a clasp).
The Medal of Honour was proposed in the autumn of 1917, but was not awarded until after the formation of the "Ordensrat der Deutschen Ehrenlegion" (German Legion of Honour) in 1921.
After paying a fee, those interested received their own medal together with a coloured award decree and, if they wished, could become members of the "Deutsche Ehrenlegion" (German Legion of Honour). This veterans' organisation was divided into 'Ritterschaften' (Knights' Groups) and its members could call themselves 'Knights of the German Legion of Honour' (Ritter der Deutschen Ehrenlegion).
In 1934, all unofficial World War commemorative decorations were replaced by the 1914-1918 War Cross of Honour and the German Legion of Honour was disbanded. Its members were transferred to the official German Reich Veterans Association - Kyffhäuserbund (DRKB - Deutscher Reichskriegerbund- Kyffhäuserbund).
Method of wear:
In the form of a small ribbon above the left pocket of the uniform (Kleine Feldspange), or for ceremonial occasions, the entire medal fixed in a bar also above the left pocket (Große Feldspange). For wearing on civilian clothing, a 16mm miniature designed to be attached to a chain.
