VETERAN MEDALS FROM THE 1870 WAR WITH ITS LARGE PRINTED DIPLOMA, Franco-Prussian War 1870-1871. 32394R

Allegorical tableau containing two medals of a veteran from the 1870 war.
One on the left of the regulatory model measuring 3 cm in diameter, worn on a light green ribbon with four vertical black stripes. The other on the right, identical, but of a larger model measuring 3.5 cm in diameter.
These two medals are sewn on either side of a winged woman placed in the middle of the tableau symbolizing the French Republic, carrying laurel branches in her right hand. Above her, three flags and in one of them, a poem:
"Your folds, French flag fiercely stand out in space
They proudly wave in the wind of happiness!
Even prouder when the storm passes
They beat the recall of our ancient honor!"
To the right of the tableau:
"ALL FOR THE HOMELAND - Honor Courage Devotion. COMMEMORATIVE ENGRAVING to Mr. Baudry Pierre in Conlie, Sarthe. Veteran of 1870-71 BY THE GOLDEN BOOK OF PATRIOTIC DEVOTION.
