Original Item. Only One Set Available. The Women's Army Corps Service Medal was a military award of the United States Army which was created on July 29, 1943, by Executive Order 9365 issued by President Franklin Roosevelt. The medal was intended to recognize the service of women to the Army during the Second World War. The profile featured on the medal is that of the goddess Pallas Athena; the same profile was used for the Women's Army Corps branch insignia.
This is a very scarce set of medal dies for the Women's Army Corps Service Medal. There are two pieces, the front and the back of the medal. The front medal die is stamped D254 / WWC, and the back is stamped D302 / WWC. The back die shows very heavy oxidation on the medal piece itself, but the front has held up much better.
An outstanding set, ready for further research and display!
The Women's Army Corps Service Medal was awarded to any service member of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps between July 10, 1942, and August 31, 1943, or the Women's Army Corps between September 1, 1943, and September 2, 1945. The medal was issued as a once-awarded medal, and there are no devices authorized for additional presentations. The medal ranked in order of precedence below the American Defense Service Medal and above the American Campaign Medal.
