History


Established by King Christian IX, this medal was awarded to recognize veterans of the Army and Navy who participated in the war for the homeland in 1848-1850, or 1864, and were still alive in 1876.

Three medals were instituted in recognition of these wars. One for the 1848-1850 participants of war, one for the 1864 participants of the war and one for both 1848-1850 and 1864, for individuals who participated in both wars.
