Commemorative Medal of the War 1940–1945 with Crossed Sabers

Flag_of_Belgium_(civil)This is the “Médaille Commémorative de la Guerre 1940–45″. The crossed sabres denoting combat service in the 1940 campaign or service in the armed resistance. There is another variant below. The design of these Belgian medals is just so much more impressive than the British Commonwealth ones that I am used to.
