The War Cross

[Marcus H]

Established in January 1937 and renewed in 1942 to form the War Cross badge and it's three classes of breast star according to rank. Further it is divided into two divisons with or without palms.

The palms were for oustanding action to warrant promotion or advancement on the military list. Without palms for gallantry in combat.

This is mine and has a nice little addtion of a 'safty catch' adjacent to the catch.
