Crudely cast British mockery of the German Iron Cross. One source says these were "awarded" by the British to German troops after they had committed some atrocity. Apparently, the medals were dropped from airplanes or left in places where Germans might find them. Other sources says they are post WWI British Made Iron Cross used as an article of propaganda. It reads literally, 'To Hell w/ the Kaiser'. This one looks to be a watch fob, but there are others made to look like an EKII medal.
Hope this helps,
