Description

WWI Victory Service with ribbon

The World War I Victory Medal, known simply as the Victory Medal prior to WWII, was a United States service medal designed by James Earle Fraser of New York City under the direction of the Commission of Fine Arts.

Award of a common allied service medal was recommended by an inter-allied committee in March 1919. Each allied nation would design a 'Victory Medal' for award to their military personnel, all issues having certain common features, including a winged figure of victory on the obverse and the same ribbon.

The Victory Medal was originally intended to be established by an act of Congress. The bill authorizing the medal never passed, however, leaving the military departments to establish it through general orders. The War Department published orders in April 1919, and the Navy in June of the same year.
