This is a French medal to commemorate Serbian prisoners-of-war. One one side is an image of, on the left, King Peter, and his son, the Prince Regent Alexander.

Serbian prisoner-of-war Red Cross postcards
6 Items
Here are several postcards sent by Serbian prisoner-of-war, Aleksandar Miljkovic, in Branau, Austria, which is near the German border, to his mother Emilija Miljkovic, in Krusevac, Serbia. The postcards are dated from 1917 and 1918. The contents, written in faded pencil, might seem mundane, with thanks for a parcel his mother had sent him, for the socks, Serbian 'pogaca' bread, some cake in a box, and so on, but such letters were an important lifeline in communication between incarcerated soldiers and their relations back home, as well as evidence of the good work that the Red Cross was doing in facilitating this. || Three Red Cross postcards send by a Serbian prisoner-of-war in Braunau, Austria, to his mother in Krusevac, Serbia.
