paul wood Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I have seen an exmple in a large group of veterans awards I handled about 10-15 years ago but they are certainly very elusive. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 It is a beautiful medal. Is this one of those medals that were tracked with award rosters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 I don't know much about it, and this is the first example I've seen. It corresponds to the usual Prussian vet's cross, but the arms of the cross aren't enamel, and it is specifically for care of wounded and for war aid.
