Descriptionof Médailles des campagnes du Dahomey
Manufacturer

The two Dahomey campaigns have gone almost unnoticed in the history of the colonisation of AOF. However, this phase of colonisation saw some major battles, often consisting of skirmishes. These campaigns revealed an army made up of Amazons: fighting, brave women who were so fanatical that they would sacrifice their lives for their king without hesitation. These campaigns also brought to the fore a rich local culture that Alfred Dodds, later a general but at the time a colonel, knew how to appreciate and preserve. The medals awarded on this occasion, whether official or not, deserve special interest from collectors, both for their quality and their historical aspect.
