Belgium – WWI "Yser… Niet Over" Medal for Fire Card Holder Gustave Van Paemel, by Émile Canneel
Obverse:
A Belgian infantry soldier, seen from behind, standing in uniform with helmet and rifle, overlooking a desolate battlefield marked by barbed wire. Inscription in arc above: "1914 YZER'... NIET OVER 1918" ("1914 Yser... Not Crossed 1918"). Artist's signature lower right: "E. Canneel".
Reverse:
Five-line inscription: "HULDE / AAN VAN PAEMEL GUSTAVE / HOUDER VAN DE / VUURKAART" ("Tribute / to Van Paemel Gustave / Holder of the / Fire Card"). Below the inscription is the Belgian royal arms: a crowned lion within a shield, flanked by laurel and oak branches, topped by the royal crown of Belgium.
Historical context:
This Belgian commemorative medal was awarded to soldiers who actively fought on the Yser front during World War I. The phrase "Not over the Yser" refers to the determined Belgian resistance that halted the German advance along the Yser River in 1914. The "vuurkaart" ("fire card") was an official certificate proving that the bearer had come under enemy fire in combat. Designed by Émile Canneel (1882–1963), the medal served as a personalized state tribute to decorated frontline soldiers. The name Gustave Van Paemel is engraved to designate the original recipient.
