Summary
A photograph showing three medals (front side), each featuring the same design, issued by Fondation Carnegie, the French equivalent of the Carnegie Hero Fund Trust; two are of the same size; the third is a smaller version. Features a portrait of Andrew Carnegie and the inscriptions "Fondation Carnegie, 1909" and "Libéralité d'un citoyen Americain pour recompenser les actes de courage accomplis en France." The reverse side (not shown in photograph) features an angel placing a crown of laurels on the head of a genuflecting male figure and bears the inscriptions "Aux héros de la civilisation" and "Andrew Carnegie, 1909."
