    1918 Golf Medal, "Presented By John D. Rockefeller" for "Victory Golf Medal" of the "United War Work Drive" Campaign To Raise Funds for needy victims in France.  The obverse bears a portrait of Marshal Foch, who was the Supreme Commander Of the Allied Forces in WW1, with his name below.  The reverse pictures a golf "green" with a golf ball approaching the hole, and two eagles fighting, above.  It is dated November 16, 1918, and the sculptor's signature W. Mobray Clarke, Sc. is below.  Evidently a gift to the golfers who participated in the match.  Bronze, 62 mm diameter, and in nice condition except for some dark spots.  A scarce early U.S. Golf related medal.
