Historical context:
This medal was issued for the 17th national and international shooting competition, held in Roubaix in 1910, as part of the 10th annual celebration of the French National Union of Shooting Societies. These events promoted marksmanship and civic discipline in early 20th-century France, blending military preparedness with patriotic festivity. Roubaix, then a major industrial center, served as a fitting backdrop for such a display of national pride and civic virtue.
