leigh kitchen Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 The Cross of Mert was instituted on 23/6/23, & was conferred in 3 x grades - Gold, Silver & Bronze, to civilians or miltary personnel for services of merit to the country or its citizens beyond their normal duty. It was awarded for merit in many areas of activity - professional & non-professional work, charity, donating blood, art & sciences, sport, life saving, long marital life & to mothers of many children.As of 1960, the Gold & Silver Crosses of Merit could be awarded twice, the Bronze Cross once.Originally, "RP" was borne in the centre of the Crosses, these examples bear "PRL" used from 1952 - 90, "RP" was again borne after 1992.The reverses of these Crosses are plain & flat.
