This medal was awarded to rear area civilian personnel, such as nurses and doctors for war effort assistance. On the obverse of the medal, there is the cypher of Kaiser Bill, namely 'WR' with a crown above. I suppose the nearest English equivalent was the first issue of the Medal of the British Empire in 1917.
It has all its original dark grey zinc finish and a reasonable piece of slightly dirty period ribbon, which would improve with a little careful washing.
