Croix de Guerre TOE

The Croix de guerre des théâtres d'opérations extérieurs (French pronunciation:; "War Cross for Foreign Operational Theatres"), also called the Croix de Guerre TOE for short, is a French military award denoting citations earned in combat in foreign countries. The Armistice of November 11, 1918 ended the war between France and Germany, but French soldiers continued fighting in theatres outside metropolitan France. Combat operations continued in Syria, Palestine, Constantinople, Morocco, French West Africa and French Equatorial Africa.

The Croix de Guerre TOE is the second of three versions of the Croix de Guerre created since the award's inception, (the others being distinct versions for World War I and World War II), and the only one considered active for new awards.
