Tripolitania Campaign Medal

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The medal for the campaign in Tripolitania was an award of the Kingdom of Italy , which in 1915 in the course of the First World War and the fighting for the colony of Italian Tripolitania by King Victor Emanuel III. was donated in one step.

Appearance and wearing style

The silver-plated medal is exactly the same as the Libya campaign medal . Entrusted persons who had already been awarded the medal in the Libya campaign received a rectangular, silver clasp instead of the medal, which was placed on the ribbon and bearing the inscription Tripolitania 1915 . All others received only the medal that was worn on the upper left chest of the borrower. The ribbon is divided vertically into six light blue and five red stripes of equal width.
