World War 1 Belgian Medal of the National Committee for Assistance and Food Supply

This historic Belgian World War I National Committee for Assistance and Food Supply medal was instituted in 1919 to commemorate humanitarian service during the First World War. The bronze medal features a crowned female bust representing Belgium within an oak wreath on the obverse. The reverse bears the dates 1914–1918, flanked by the letters CN, and surrounded by the inscription "EN SOUVENIR DE SA COLLABORATION". The medal is suspended from its correct ribbon, typically white with a central red stripe.

The medal recognized individuals and organizations who contributed to relief and food distribution efforts in German-occupied Belgium between 1914 and 1918. The National Committee for Assistance and Food Supply played a vital role in preventing famine and supporting civilian populations under occupation, making this award an important symbol of humanitarian service rather than military action.

WWI humanitarian medals from occupied Belgium hold strong historical significance and broad collector appeal. This medal represents a powerful reminder of civilian resilience and international cooperation during wartime and makes a meaningful addition to collections focused on World War I, humanitarian service, or European orders and decorations.
