Use
Throughout the first World War 1914 to 1918, relatives of service personnel killed in action, were given a "death plaque" or memorial medal showing the deceased person's name. These plaques or medals were individually cast in bronze. Most were issued to men, and their legend (inscription) reads HE DIED FOR FREEDOM AND HONOUR.
