| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a prominent Cross of Lorraine, the emblem of the Free French Forces, displayed in the centre of the field with the denomination '1 FC' flanking the lower arm of the cross. A flowing scroll or ribbon arcs across the upper portion of the field bearing the legends 'HONNEUR LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ' on the upper arc and 'FRATERNITÉ PATRIE' continuing around the right side. The date '1943' appears at the bottom of the field, flanked by decorative floral rosettes. The engraver's initials 'C.L.S.' are incused below the cross, and the entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
