I picked this up as a freebie when buying a few medals a few years ago and I have no idea what it is or what it says.

You can try r/translator for this.
First of all, the font is in blackletter, which became outdated in German-speaking countries in the 1st half of the 20th century. Strangely, it alternates between a proper “s” and the “s” that looks like an “f” which makes that font infamously hard to read.
Anyway, the form reads:
Bundesministerium für Landesverteidigung (?) 74518 / (???) von 1935.
Ausweis Herrn Franz(?) Paluels(???) in Misburg/Haunover(?) wurde die österreichsche Kriegserinnerungsmedaille mit den Schwertern verliehen
Wien, am 8. April 1935.
Im Namen der österreichischen Bundesregierung Für den Bundesminister für Landesverteidigung Lehner Gey(???) (Signature)
Translation:
Federal Ministry of Defence (?) 74518 / (???) in 1935
Identification Card
Mr Franz Paluels (?)
In Misburg / Haunover was awarded the Austrian War
Commemoration Medal with Swords.
Vienna, April 8th 1935

End of Translation
So what does this mean? It seems like is a relatively ordinary Austrian medal for service in WW I that does not mention any special actions or distinguishments and seems a bit run-of-the-mill. Then again, at least he received a version "with swords" (not real swords, probably just extra symbols), which indicates that the recipient saw active combat. The Wikipedia-article has a nice image, if you want to look at it htps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Commemorative_Medal_(Austria) (Sorry, the () breaks the Hyperlink)
I am sorry I cannot provide further information.
