Kyffhäuser Federation War Commemorative Medal

Obverse side of oval medal depicts a torn flag and four arrows surrounded by a wreath. Above the flag it says "Blank die wehr rein die ehr" which means something like "To arms with honor intact." To the left it says "1914-1918." At the very bottom is "Hosaeus" to recognize Hermann Kurt Hosaeus who designed this medal. On the reverse side are "Für Treue im Weltkriege" (For loyalty during the World War) and "Der Kyffhäuserbund" (the Kyffhauser Federation) on the outer edge. In the center is a quote from the honorary president of Kyffhäuserbund, Paul von Hindenburg, "Aufrecht / u. Stolz gehen / wir aus dem / kampfe den wir / über vier Jahre / gegen eine Welt / von feinden / bestanden / hindenburg" (roughly translates to: Standing proudly we leave the battle which we fought, more than four years long and against the world, Hindenburg).
