France WWI Silver Verdun Medal 1916 by Vernier Marked by Paul Leclere

FRANCE: WW1 Verdun Commemorative 
Medal, in silver. Maker marked by Paul 
Leclere in Paris.
The Verdun medals were unofficial awards, 
by the municipality of Verdun, to military 
personnel who participated in the February 
1916 battle of the Verdun fort. This is the 
original example designed by Vernier, with 
the name of the medalist engraved on it 
together with the motto "on ne passe pas" 
(you will not pass), and the date "21 Fevrier 
1916" on the reverse side.
The silver examples are scarce as they were 
awarded to high ranking officers.
