Medal by Paul Roger-Bloche. Two round bronze-colored medals shown side by side. The left medal has a raised image of a man and woman facing each other; the man on the left has his hands on the woman's chest and they appear to kiss. The woman on the right has her hair covered with a headscarf that has a bow on top. The right medal shows a soldier in uniform holding a rifle, with a signpost behind him. The soldier's uniform includes a hat, coat, and boots. The signpost reads "A LC" and "FRANCE". The words "LETOUR DE L ALSACE A LA FRANCE" are written around the top edge of the medal and "11 NOVEMBRE 1918" is written at the bottom edge. The background of the image fades from dark at the top to light gray at the bottom.
