    croix de guerre

    I just want to ask a simple question;

    When each croix de guerre was issued did ALL of them come with a ribbon device or did they only come with each additional award?

    For example; my grandad does not recall ever getting any devices for his ribbon!!! Was it at all possible to get a croix without any device at all?

    All awards had a ribbon device, the type of device depended on the level of the citation. The lowest level was a citation in brigade orders, which got a bronze star, the highest an army citation which got a bronze palm leaf. It was never awarded without a ribbon device and the actual citation will state the level of award. The same is true for the Croix de la Valeur Militaire.

    Regards,

    Paul
