Mons Star

The Mons Star was a British military decoration awarded during World War I for bravery and leadership in the Battle of Mons, the first major engagement between British and German forces in 1914. It recognized individuals who displayed exceptional courage or contributed significantly to the battle’s success. The medal is notable for its distinctive design, featuring a star-shaped insignia. Despite its importance during the war, it was awarded sporadically and is now a historical relic, symbolizing early British resilience and valor in the conflict.
