Full Description

This medal is the 19401945 Colonial War Effort Medal (French: Médaille de l'Effort de Guerre Colonial 19401945), a Belgian decoration instituted in 1947.

It was awarded to civilians, volunteers, and personnel who served honourably for at least one year in the Belgian Congo or Ruanda-Urundi between May 1940 and May 1945. This medal is not South African, but forms part of Belgian wartime and colonial service honours.

The bronze medal has a distinctive rectangular shape, featuring the dates 1940 1945 and the inscription PRO PATRIA ET VICTORIA (For Fatherland and Victory), set between vertical laurel branches and topped by a five-pointed star. It is suspended from a yellow ribbon with light blue edges.

A desirable piece for collectors of European military medals, colonial history, and Second World War service decorations.
