Obverse : The oval medal is in gilt bronze. Within a border of leaves stands a torn flag under the text, in Gothic script, “BLANK / DIE WEHR / REIN DIE EHR” (not literally translatable but meaning something like ‘fighing with open visor, with honour intact”). To the left of the flag are the dates “1914 / 1918) and across the lower part of the medal are four lightning bolts.
Reverse : to the inner side of the border of leaves one reads, on the upper half : “Für Treue im Weltkriege” (For loyalty during the World War) and on the lower half : “Der Kyffhäuserbund”. Centrally is the text “Aufrecht / u. Stolz gehen / wir aus dem / kampfe den wir / über vier Jahre / gegen eine Welt / von feinden / bestanden / hindenburg” (Standing proudly we leave the battle which we fought, more than four years long and against the world, Hindenburg).
