WW2 Canadian War Medal With Document In Mail Home Box of Issue

The WW2 Canadian War Medal With Document In Mail Home Box of Issue is an authentic set awarded to Canadian service personnel in recognition of their service during the Second World War. The set includes the War Medal 1939-1945, which was bestowed to members of the armed forces and merchant navy who served for at least 28 days between September 3, 1939, and September 2, 1945. Struck in cupro-nickel, the medal features the crowned effigy of King George VI on the obverse and a lion standing astride a double-headed dragon on the reverse.

Both items are housed in the original “Mail Home” cardboard box, as issued to recipients. This set provides historical insight into the recognition of Canadian military service during WW2 and reflects the original method of distribution to veterans.
