Croix de guerre 1914–1918 (Belgium)

The War Cross 1914–1918 (Oorlogskruis 1914–1918) is a Belgian medal created in 1915 alongside the French one to honour those who, together with the Allies, had fought against the Central Powers during the First World War. Its design was based on the French War Cross.

The War Cross could also be supplemented by a distinguishing mark for a special mention, indicating that the recipient had displayed courage and strength in the field. These marks were represented by a lion or a palm, as explained below.
