Medals
Medals were awarded by governments throughout WW1 to acknowledge the heroic actions of individuals. They were also struck as objects of commemoration, celebrating particular victories or military leaders. Propagandist and satirical messages were easily integrated into medal designs. They functioned to boost morale, promote particular narratives and also to raise money for the war effort.
