SO this oe piece caught my eye its from WW1 and called a Croix de Guerre with Palme en bronze.
"During World War I, the Croix de Guerre was awarded for bravery to military personnel mentioned in dispatches. Recipients of the Légion d'Honneur and Médaille Militaire were automatically entitled to the Croix de Guerre. For subsequent acts of bravery, the recipient was awarded a bronze palm leaf for Army citations, a gold star for Corps citations, a silver star for Division citations or a bronze star for Brigade and Regimental citations"

Montdidier - Noyon
Aisne - Marne
St. Mihiel
Meuse - Argonne
Defensive Sector
