World War I Victory Medal


 

The World War I Victory Medal is a decoration of the United States military which was first created in 1919. The medal was originally intended to be created by an act of the United States Congress, however the bill authorizing the decoration never passed leaving the service departments to create the award through general orders. The United States Army published orders authorizing the World War I Victory Medal in April 1919 and the U.S. Navy followed in June of that same year.
