Found it metal detecting today

Found this while metal detecting. I do not know a lot about the patriotica medals, but this is neat being from 1914. It cleaned up real nice too.

Cleaned up almost like new, is it Gilt bronze?

Nice early piece. I like the quote from his war speech.

Yes, gilded bronze. What did the ribbon look like and I assume this was something anyone could wear at the time - not awarded for anythnig particular??
