Yes, that would be correct DONDon1. Sometimes known as a "Flanders' Cross"

It is a marine corp medal, unofficial and issued after the war to individuals that met the organization's criteria. Typically serving on the western front in the low countries. Sometimes these medals had bars on the ribbons indicating the location served.

I haven't much more about these medals, but others could probably tell you more about it.

Thanks, Claudius!

Sorry for the slow response - I hadn't been rechecking this thread once it was moved. I appreciate the extra info!
