Note: Medal actually shows 1917-1918 .. the 8 in the 18 looks like a 9 when you read it quickly. Also, always a confusing end date to the war.
Germany had formally surrendered on November 11, 1918, and all nations had agreed to stop fighting while the terms of peace were negotiated. On June 28, 1919, Germany and the Allied Nations (including Britain, France, Italy and Russia) signed the Treaty of Versailles, formally ending the war.
