Almost every time I run into one of these medals it is unlisted and I have a fairly large listing of the known Canadian local issue medals. This one is from Neudorf, Sask. and is named to A. McHardy. The medal is a 10k gold pin back. The design type is the most common of a soldier with rifle and flag background mounted on a beaver top shield. This probably indicates a small town that could not afford any medals not of a stock design. Also Canadian gold medals do not usually indicate a posthumous award as in the United States issues.

Thanks Ski, Neudorf is so small it is not listed in my Geographical dictionary. On google there is a village listing of less than 300 people.

Thanks Ranger 44, in the USA gold medals are usually for next of kin while in Canada gold medals were often for regular WWI service.
