The following gallery features medals and awards from the Iraqi military
forces as well as civilian awards. The 1920's to 1936 time period is covered.
The quality of construction of the various medals and awards will vary greatly. The military insignia issued to the
average soldier is usually of poor quality. These awards were manufactured in-country. In contrast, the awards issued
to higher ranking personnel are of much higher quality and usually manufactured by foreign countries such as Switzerland,
France and other European nations.
