1 year of service as a nurse during war time.
Also with gold (gilt) and bronze Red Cross palms
for exceptional services.

The UFF was established in 1881 by Mrs.
Koechlin-Schwart. Its aim was purely humanita-
rian (aiding the wounded combatants in war time
and providing support to public agencies in time
of national catastrophe or need).
In 1940, the UFF together with the French Society
of Aiding the Wounded and the Association of
French Ladies merged and created
the French Red Cross.
A rare medal with a scarce set of additional
awards.
