Only two of medal bars that I have had in my accumulation were associated with the Red Cross. I know very little about the award criteria and the relative scarcity of some of the medals. I thought perhaps there might be some depth of knowledge among our members regarding this subject that would be of benefit to us all. I'll kick it off with my only two Red Cross bars, one weimar and the other imperial.
What I recall is that the square of the Black Watch was broken by the assault of what the troops referred to as fuzzy wuzzies. I don't recall which native tribe they represented.
In reality nothing! I now have the bar in hand and what looked like and incorrect ribbon on the end commemorative turned out to be correct. I couldn't make out the horizontal stripes in the photo.
