TURKEY: Mehmet V, 1909-1918, AR Military Medal, AH1333 (1915), 57mm, The Ottoman War Medal (Harp Madalyasi)), five-pointed gilt-silver and red enamel star with ball-tipped finials; the face with the toughra of Sultan Mehmet Reshad V centrally above the date AH1333, all within an upwards-facing silvered crescent; the reverse plain with pin for wearing, EF. The Ottoman War Medal (Harp Madalyasi), better known as the Gallipoli Star, or the Iron Crescent (from the German term Eiserner Halbmond in allusion to the Iron Cross) was a military decoration of the Ottoman Empire which was instituted by the Sultan Mehmet Reshad V on 1 March 1915 for gallantry in battle. This decoration was awarded for the duration of World War I to Ottoman and other Central Powers troops, primarily in Ottoman areas of engagement. The Medal (Madalyasi) is to all intents an Order. It was awarded widely during the Gallipoli campaign and is often known in the West as the 'Gallipoli Star', though it was not technically a campaign medal. Some were issued with campaign bars with red Arabic script in the field denoting the specific campaign: Chanakkale/Chanak (Gallipoli), Gaza, Kanal, Kut-al-Amara, and/or Sanatorium. The Central Powers often called the award the 'Eiserner Halbmond' (Iron Crescent), despite the fact that it was made of silver or German silver, rather than iron, since it was seen as equivalent to the Prussian Iron Cross.
