A bronze medallion with a brown patina features low-relief scenes on both sides. On the left, two robed women stand; one holds a horizontal sword and the other a flag. Below, an eagle claws at a smaller bird and broken sword. Text reads 'ON NE PASSE PAS MCMXVI'. On the right, three uniformed generals' portraits in circular frames rest above laurel branches. Central text reads 'A LA GLOIRE DES HEROS DE VERDUN MCMXVI'.
