An incredible antique Belgian medal pendant inscribed “Ligue Nationale du Souvenir et de la Gloire”, commemorating the National League of Remebrence and Glory. This rare medallion-style pendant reflects Western European patriotic design and the commemorative jewellery traditions of the early to mid-20th century. A fascinating historical piece with continental appeal.

This World War I Yser Medal honors the Belgian soldiers and volunteers who held the Yser River line in 1914—one of the most crucial defensive actions of the war. Their stand stopped the German advance into western Belgium and helped shape the Western Front for the rest of the conflict. Awarded to those who served in this pivotal campaign, the medal represents courage, national resilience, and a defining moment in Belgian resistance. It remains a meaningful piece of WWI history and a highly respected collectible.

In antique condition. Please be sure to see all of the photos.

Stamped with date 1914 to the bottom of the front of the medallion along with makers mark PB.
