Belgian Croix de Guerre (War Cross) Medal Ribbon – New Old Stock
An unused New Old Stock (NOS) medal ribbon representing the Belgian Croix de Guerre, or War Cross, one of Belgium's most recognized military decorations for wartime bravery.
Historical Background
The Belgian Croix de Guerre was originally established on October 25, 1915, during the First World War, when Belgium was engaged in a prolonged struggle against German occupation.
The decoration recognized the courage and sacrifice of Belgian military personnel and others who distinguished themselves during wartime operations.
A separate version of the Croix de Guerre was established during the Second World War, followed by later versions associated with subsequent conflicts.
Why It Was Awarded
The Croix de Guerre was awarded for acts of bravery, distinguished wartime conduct, and other qualifying military service.
Recipients could include members of the Belgian armed forces and, under certain circumstances, foreign military personnel.
Additional devices, including bronze palms and lions, could be attached to the ribbon to signify mentions in dispatches or citations at different command levels.
