Possible 1914 Ukrainian Galician Army Cross

[Linasl]

Greetings. I have a medal which I am quite sure is Ukrainian. It is dated 1914. Please see photos.

Is this the FIRST version of the Galician Army Cross, or is this something else? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi, Gents! It's Bukovinian Cross of Ukrainian Sechevy Riflemen - 1918

Greetings. Thank you for your input.

But are you sure it is 1918? On the cross, at bottom, it states "1914".

Please let me know.

Take care. Linas

hi, Linasl! The Ukrainian Legion was formed in 1914, but this Cross made in 1918. There are two tipes of it - 36*36 mm and 15*15 mm

Hello. Thanks for the input mm.

Si is this the "Bukovinian Cross of Ukrainian Sechevy Riflemen - 1918 " dated 1914? I ask because you mention the "Ukrainian Legion". Is this a group that was formed and issued this medal? Who was the "Legion" aligned with?

Please let me know. Thank you.
