Italian WWI Altipiani Commemorative Medal for the 6th (Plateau) Army, silver ((Medaglia Commemorativa della 6ª Armata (Armata degli Altipiani), argento)) for Italian, British and French officers, 1918, by Stefano Johnson of Milan. The medal is not official but was created by the Italian authorities on the initiative of General Montuori, commander of the Italian 6th Army, and awarded early in 1919 to Italian, British and French officers of the forces that had fought in the Battle of the Piave, 15 to 24 June 1918. The Battle of the Piave was the final throw of the Austro-Hungarian forces occupying part of north-eastern Italy when fifty-seven divisions attempted to take Allied positions and cross the River Piave.
