      Is it this Order that of Maria Christina ?

      in Spain

      Posted

      I believe that she is a War Cross for officiers will grant al personal that she will have made acts or "very outstanding" services that had extraordinary effectiveness for the development del it fights or it battles.

      - For chiefs, plaque with silver bottom.

      Cross military with Palms will grant to the personnel who, having proposed for Promotion or Military Medal, totally does not fill the indicated conditions, but if he reunites them superior to the demanded for the Cross military.

      - The plaque described with the variations of being of dark red enamel the shield, that takes to the legend "AL M?RITO EN CAMPA?A" and the addition of two superposed crossed gold palms.

      The Order of 15.01.1940 authorizes the personnel who is in possession of the War Cross so that he takes in the ribbon bar, like symbol, an equal silk ribbon which he represented the old Cross of Maria Cristina width of three centimeters, divided in three equal parts: the central, with the national flag colour (red/yellow/red), and those of the flanks, white, with a crimson edge, of a millimeter.

      The last image corresponds to a CROSS for enlisteds of the Order of Maria Cristina, not to a War Cross

      Also I have found this, but not if is the same person

      DECREE by which Knight of the Imperial Order del Yoke and the Arrows, granting to him the Grand Cross to Mr. Ettore Muti, Minister Secretary of the Facist Party of Italy and General Consul of the M.V.S.N.

      I add some images more...(sorry for tyhe quality)

      Notwhitstanding the great knowledge of Antonio Prieto, IMHO, the lower degree of the award, that?s only for Privates and Corporals and is the cross Before described. with the ribbon blue-white-blue. (The image with the maria cristina cross, without lys flower in the ecusson, bears, clearly, the Mural crown and the violet stripe on the ribbon that makes it as correspondent to a "Republicanized" Maria Cristina award.

      For more information:

      So, The order of awards precedence in the Nationalist Army was:

      1/Cruz laureada---------------------------------------Laureate cross of st. Ferdinand

      2/ Medalla Militar--------------------------------------Military Medal

      3/ Avance en la escala por meritos de Guerra-----Advancement in grade for combat merits

      4/ Cruz de Guerra con Palmas----------------------War Cross with Palms

      5/ idem sin palmas----------------------War Cross

      6/ Cruz del merito militar (distintivo rojo)---------Military Merit cross red enamel (War merit)

      7/ Citacion--------------------------------------------MID ??

      The Star (This is a Breast Star, Normaly worn at the Left pocket or under it), is a directly descendent of the Maria Cristina order., But , being a New one non conected with the Monarchie, it bears some differences: is smaller in Diametre, the crow is the "open" style or Imperail crown favored by nationalist forces (General Franco), No Lys flowers (Borbonic) on the central "ecuson", instead they bear a Granate fruit (Reminiscents fronm the Catholic king conquest of the Moorish Kingdom of Granada, that ended the Spanish "reconquista" (re-conquest or expulsion of the arabs from spain after 800 yera of domination, in 1490)

      The Star is Called: War cross, (Cruz de Guerra) and has some Grades:

      Grand cross: With right shoulder band (Ligh Blue with central white stripe) and the Cross (greek) of oxidized silver with gold rim and with gilded central crown, and four swords at the angles (only the handles are visibles) - this cross is the same of the war cross for OR. badge-, pending from a bow

      and is intended for field officers (Blue ring with "MERITO EN CAMPA?A" on it; and red ring with the same lettering for junior officers and NCO)

      War cross (for field officers): As described above, with the central lettering "MERITO EN CAMAPA?A" (Campaign or field merit), on a Blue backgroundg.

      War cross for junior officers and NCO: As above but the lettering comes on a red background

      War cross for soldiers and Corporals: As described in the Grand cross, but being a breast ribbon (blue-white-blue) cross

      If the merits are nearly enough to have an advance (of grade) in the scale, or a the Military medal, but has not enough for them but the merits are superior that those for the War cross: The central part bears 2 gilded palms (as you can see at the pics)

      Probably the Medal of Military Merit, instituted 28 February 1917 and awarded in 4 classes for heroism and leadership in combat.

      An that is the military medal post-1940, yellow ribbon, with red stripes, no bar 1940. King?s cypher crossed (george "G" in greel alphabet) "au lieu" of the phoenix, and 1940 in the rev. side.
