Medal For Our And Your Freedom.

Medal Za Wasza Wolnosc i Nasza / Medal for Your Liberty and Ours

Instituted by the Polish State Council on 18 October 1956 and awarded to Polish volunteers who participated in the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939 on side of the Spanish Republic. The medal is silver and 35 mm in diameter.

On the obverse is the portrait of General Swierczewski in profile. Gen. Swierczewski served as one of International Brigade commanders. There is the inscription "ZA WASZA WOLNOSC I NASZA" (FOR YOUR LIBERTY AND OURS).

The reverse has the three-pointed star of the Republican troops. The star lies on a laurel wreath, and within the star is the inscription "XIII / BI / 1936-1939" in three lines. This represents the 13th International Battalion and the years of the Spanish Civil War. The 13th International Battalion was named after Polish General Dabrowski and held most of the Polish volunteers. At the center bottom of the Reverse is the year of institution "1956." Around the outer edge runs the inscription "DABROWSZCZAKOM" (TO MEMBERS OF THE DABROWSKI BATTALION).

The ribbon is in red with a white central stripe.
