Description
The medal itself took the form of a Cross pattée with a circle in the centre. On the obverse, there were the initials of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force in Portuguese, surrounded by a laurel wreath, on the top arm of the cross was the word Brasil, followed by the numbers, 16, VII, and 1944, on the left, right, and bottom arms respectively, referring to the 16th July 1944, when Brazilian soldiers first saw combat, in Europe. The reverse is simpler, with the arms being bare, whilst the centre bears the legend Medalha de Campanha, surrounded by the words Força Expedicionária Brasileira. The medal was issued with a clasp that read F.E.B. in Latin capitals.
