Harlem Hellfighters Bronze Medal – 3" Replica

This historic collectible commemorates the extraordinary service of the African American infantry unit that became one of the most celebrated regiments of World War I.
Size: Measures 3.000 inches in diameter
Obverse Design: Depicts three WWI infantrymen from the 369th Regiment with inscriptions “HARLEM HELLFIGHTERS,” “15TH NEW YORK NATIONAL GUARD,” and “U.S. ARMY 369TH INFANTRY REGIMENT.”

Historical Significance:
The Harlem Hellfighters spent more time in combat than any other American unit during World War I. Segregated from white U.S. Army units, they fought under French command, earning high distinction for their valor, including the Croix de Guerre. Despite their heroism, they returned home to face racism and segregation—a powerful reminder of their sacrifice and resilience.
