Croix-Rouge française (Val-de-Marne)

Committed for almost a year alongside the public authorities, the volunteers of the Red Cross still respond today tirelessly to the various requests for support and assistance. To salute this commitment, the French Red Cross has created two new distinctions allowing to honor this flawless commitment. The medal, one per unit, is intended to salute an exceptional action. Considering everyone's commitment as such, the departmental office of Val de Marne chose not to choose between its 800 volunteers and decided, in agreement with its national chancellery, to have this decoration put back to its flag for the benefit of all. The departmental office prompted its local units to follow this idea and many of them have already followed suit. The badge will be given to each volunteer having committed at one time or another in the missions proposed by the Red Cross within the framework of the fight against the COVID-19. All these distinctions will take place by the end of spring.

New update

The differences between second and third class crossings are almost impossible to appreciate in black and white photographs. The plaque of 2nd class, is in silver with castles and lions in gold. The plaque of 3rd class is in gold with castles and lions in silver. The Great Cross is the third class with the sash, which is not seen in any of the photographs of the German admirals.

That is why it is necessary to find the concession decrees where the class is specified

I dont know the date for this admiral

It depends on the employment he had when he was granted. The model of the pic is used from 1939

The second class cross, for commander, lieutenant commander, and also lieutenant colonels and assimilated

Third class, for captains, colonels and assimilated.

I suposse thath for this class

Update of the ribbon sheet
