Orient campaign medal
The Orient campaign medal ((フランス語:"Médaille commémorative d'Orient")) was a French military medal bestowed for participation in the battles against the Central Powers by the Allied Eastern Army between 1915 and 1918.
These battles culminated in the 1918 successful offensive under French general Louis Franchet d'Espèrey in Macedonia knocking Bulgaria out of the war and the overrunning of much of the Balkans.
==Award history==
First proposed as a new clasp on the Colonial Medal, and then as a distinct medal in June 1917, it is finally and only on 15 June 1926 that this award will be officially established. The creation of the "1914-1918 war commemorative medal" ((フランス語:Médaille commémorative de la guerre 1914–1918)) in 1920 and of the 1914-1918 "Interallied Victory Medal" ((フランス語:Médaille Interalliée de la Victoire 1914–1918)) in 1922 will have placed enough pressure on the French Government to concede, even against the will of its defence minister, the need for official recognition of service in this theatre of operations.
The new medal is officially called the "Orient and Dardanelles' campaign medal" ((フランス語:"Médaille Commémorative d'Orient et des Dardanelles")), the intent being for a single medal for both campaigns albeit with different ribbons, but it is actually produced with different reverse inscriptions for the two fronts "ORIENT" or "DARDANELLES" and will only bear the "ORIENT" designation when bestowed for that front.〔
