The Wounded Personnel Medal Design
Crafted in gold, the medal takes the shape of a cross. At its center, a relief depicting General Gregorio del Pilar’s head is positioned, facing forward. Surrounding the cross is a wreath composed of light green laurel leaves.
The cross symbolizes the peril encountered during combat, while the depiction of General Del Pilar signifies acts leading to injury inflicted by an armed adversary. The wreath serves as a tribute to such courageous endeavors, with the green hue representing nobility and dedication to duty.
The ribbon accompanying the medal features a white base with a central purple stripe.
