Badge for the Time of Stay at the Front

The Honorary Badge for Officers (Equivalent Ranks) and Enlisted Personnel for Time Served at the Front [Odznaka honorowa dla Oficerów (Równorzędnych) i Szeregowych za Czas Pobytu na Froncie] was a Polish military decoration established by a regulation of the Council of National Defence of 14 July 1920. It was awarded to soldiers of the Polish Army, regardless of rank or branch of service, for time served at the front after 1 November 1918 in direct combat contact with the enemy. A soldier was entitled to one badge for every six months of front-line service.

The following soldiers were also entitled to the badge if they had served during the World War before 1 November 1918 in the following formations:

in the Polish Legions,

in the First, Second and Third Polish Corps in Russia,

in the Polish Army in France,

in other Polish military formations recognized by the Republic of Poland.

The badge (alongside the Honorary Badge for Officers (Equivalent Ranks) and Enlisted Personnel for Wounds and Contusions, established at the same time) was chronologically the second decoration (after the Order of Virtuti Militari) established in reborn Poland, and the first without an earlier tradition.
