This base metal boxed medal was minted in 1914. The obverse depicts the bust of Paul von Breitenbach looking to the left with the words "Paul v. Breitenbach " followed by two military cross type symbols around the edge. The reverse depicts a naked man running left to right along a track with a drawn sword in his right hand and a flaming torch held aloft in his left hand, with a winged wheel, clouds and "1914" in the background. This image would appear to illustrate the writing on the bottom of the blue cardboard box:-
"1914. Der Weltkrieg bricht an. Sturm fegt durchs Land Wetterwolken verschleiern die Zukunft.Auf stahlerner Spur auf geflugeltern Rad voran Deutschlands todesgemuter Wehr jagt der Kriegsgott daher stossbereit das Schwert mit lodernder Fackel - dem Feinde entgegen. Licht bricht hervor - kundend den Sieg and gluckvollen Frieden" which roughly translates as "1914. The World War breaks . Storm sweeps through the country, weather clouds obscure the future .On steel track on winged wheel, goes Germany's mortal military following the God of War with drawn sword with flaming torch - against the enemy. Light breaks - bringing victory and joyful peace"
There are no signatures on either the obverse or reverse and no marks on the rim. The lid of the box has a picture of buildings and the words "Christianenheim des Eisenbahn Torchterhorts."
