Two rectangular bronze plaques feature a weathered, dark brown patina. On the left, a relief depicts a winged, helmeted figure embracing a uniformed soldier who grips a rifle; 'AUX BRAVES' is inscribed at the bottom. On the right, a feathered palm frond and leafy oak branch cross at the lower corner. The metal surface is matte and slightly pitted, showing subtle variations in tone across the background.
