| Reverse description | A helmeted Allied soldier in combat uniform is depicted in prone firing position, aiming a Bren light machine gun mounted on a bipod toward the left. Barbed wire entanglements and wooden beach obstacle stakes fill the background, evoking the atmosphere of the D-Day landings of 6 June 1944. A vertical graduated scale appears along the right inner border, and the time inscription 14.00 is engraved to the right of the figure, indicating a specific hour of the Normandy campaign. The scene is rendered in high relief against a polished field, with detailed ground, stones, and foliage in the foreground. |
