Hungarian WWI. Commemorative medal for combatants.

Most nations that participated in the great war, issued commemorative medals during the inter-war period. The Hungarian medal was designed by the famous sculptor Zsigmond Kisfaludi-Strobl. 
The commemorative medal for combatants was founded the 26th of May 1929 and was issued to any military personal that served during the war, until the 30th October 1918. A non combatant version of the commemorative medal was also issued.
