The Military Medical Cross was instituted on 25 August 1870 by Grand Duke Ludwig III of Hesse on the occasion of the war against France. It could be awarded to women and men who had rendered distinguished service in the field of medical care, in tending to and transporting wounded and sick soldiers.
