| Additional information |
The Zeitung 10. Armee was a field newspaper produced for soldiers of the German 10th Army during World War I, and medals recognizing loyal contributors or staff — "für treue Mitarbeit," for faithful collaboration — were an unremarkable but genuine feature of the military press apparatus. This piece is a replica, which limits its documentary value considerably. Field press commemoratives of this type were never systematically catalogued, making authentic examples difficult to authenticate and reproductions correspondingly easy to circulate undetected.
