France: Medal for the Battle of the Marne (Medaille De La Marne)

Awarded to French veterans who had fought at the Marne - the great French battle of September 1914, when 'The Miracle of the Marne ' legend was born, when thousands of 'Paris Taxis' and Omni-buses', and their civilian drivers, were employed to shuttle French troops to the front to stem the rapid German advance - a logistics ploy that ultimately saved the fall of Paris
