Baron Jacques was a military man from Stavelot. Between 1887 and 1905 he accompanied four campaigns to Congo and fought there against the Arabs. In the First World War he was commander of the 12th regiment during several battles. Jacques received the title of Baron on 15 August 1919. This piece for Baron Jacques is sometimes, wrongly, considered to be the fourth medal dedicated by "Les Amis de la Médaille d'Art" to the main episodes of the war. De Bremaecker offered this medal, independently of the aforementioned series, to the members of his association. On the obverse, Baron Jules-Marie-Alphonse Jacques is portrayed, on the reverse his coat of arms and three warriors with armour and shield.
