Belgium WWII Commemorative Medal for the Ethiopian Campaign 1940 1941 with clasp Abyssinie by Dupagne

BELGIUM: WW2 Commemorative Medal for the 
Ethiopian Campaign 1940 - 1941 (or East African 
Campaign) with clasp "Abyssinie" (Ethiopia). 
The medal was awarded to combatants of the 
Belgian Forces of Congo (Force Publique) who 
took part for at least 1 year in the East African 
Campaign during the period 6 Mar. 1940 to 3 Jul. 1
941.
The clasp "Abyssinie" was awarded to combatants 
who fought in Ethiopia against the Italian African 
Colonial Troops (battles of Saio, Gambela and 
Asosa - as on the reverse of the medal). 
Signed by Arthur Dupagne.
The medal was instituted in 1947 and it is very 
rare, as the Belgian forces that participated in 
the campaign were no more than 3000 men and 
less than 500 medals were awarded.
The clasp was awarded to even less.
A genuine example of a heavily copied medal.
