The Medal for the War of Liberation was instituted on 21 April 1945 and awarded to personnel of the Italian armed forces, frontier guards, Red Cross, and certain categories of civilians, for a minimum 3 months service after 9 September 1943, excluding – of course – service in the “Social Italian Republic”.
The medal was awarded to Italian forces who served in operations against the German occupational army in Italy, post the capitulation and collapse of the Mussolini Fascist regime.
The award was first instituted as a ribbon and from 6 May 1959 as a medal.
The ribbon can carry bars for each year of service: 1943, 1944, 1945, and possibly 1946. The latter year would refer to services in defusing bombs, mine clearance, etc. but seems never to have been effectively awarded or manufactured.
