Red enameled stars for the wounded. Made by Ets David before 1928. Price per unit
WOUNDED STAR. WOUNDED BADGE. We are offering a limited stock from the David company, which bears an inventory entry dated February 1928; these stars are therefore of earlier manufacture. They measure 1 cm from point to point, are red enamel on a brass background, and have two attachment tabs on the back.
This badge was created during the conflicts of the First World War, by decree of July 27, 1916.
It is a five-pointed star, enameled in bright red, which is placed on the ribbon of the commemorative medal for the campaign in which the wound was received.
For each wound, a red star was added to the ribbon.
The ribbon, on a white background, has seven vertical stripes, including a central red stripe, bordered on either side by a yellow stripe, a blue stripe, and a wider blue stripe at the edge.
When the Great War Commemorative Medal was created in 1920, the star (or stars) symbolizing wounds was placed on the ribbon. This practice continued in subsequent conflicts. In fact, the decoration (cloth and medal) was no longer to be worn as a separate unit once the medal for the specific conflict was created and the star was added to the cloth. With the recent creation of the French Commemorative Medal (decree of October 9, 1995), this technical issue is resolved. However, the fact that this medal is systematically awarded for all operations leads to the application of the same rule when participation in a particular conflict is rewarded with the Overseas Medal. This is an insignia, not a medal. The number of stars worn corresponds to the number of wounds.
For operations that do not qualify for the French Commemorative Medal, the star is affixed to the ribbon of the Overseas Medal.
The badge is worn by those who received a wound during wartime or peacekeeping operations, in the presence of or due to the actions of the enemy.
Illnesses suffered by deported resistance fighters during their deportation are considered equivalent to war wounds.
There is no official certificate for this badge; only documents related to medical care, operations, and injuries can be used to substantiate and compile the application for this badge.
