The Belgian Red Cross distinction was a Belgian award.
In the First World War, Belgian volunteers also helped as a doctor, nurse or sicker carrier and behind the front. The Belgian Red Cross has already founded a "Croix des Volontaires Internationaux de la Croix Rouge". All that was official in those days was referred to in Belgium by Belgium. There was a distinction between the Belgian Red Cross in 1880.
The red enamelled cross with arms on the arms is hung on a brace crown and was worn on the left chest to a two-finger wide white ribbon.
The Ie Class was a gilded silver cross with a gilded silver bracelet crown and was worn on a ribbon with a wide red centerline.
The IIth Class was a silver cross with a gilded silver bracelet crown and was worn on a ribbon with a wide red centerline.
The 2nd Class was wearing a ribbon with two narrow red center strips according to the prescription. In daily practice, both decorations were worn on the Ie Class ribbon. In the red red oval medallion, a red enameled cross of Geneva is placed on a white shield on the chest of a gold or silver lion. A gold or silver oak ring has been laid in the arms of the cross. The reverse side is empty and provides space for an inscription.
The brace crown indicates that the Belgian Red Cross is under Royal Conservation.
The award was awarded in two classes. The 1st class was made of gilded metal, 2nd grade was silver-colored. Also see Externe link
