It's French. The SVN version has a 6 pointed red star and the stripes in the ribbon are green instead of blue. My book lists it as a WW1 wound medal, but the original version was a ribbon only award and the medal came out later according to it. Perhaps the medal was used as a wound medal for other wars besides WW1.
