Awards of Germany - Medal of Honor of the World War 1914-1918

This medal of honor was established by a World War I front-line soldier. The medal was also issued with combat insignia. The battle mark is a gilded, openwork circulation of the tape. It consists of a round oak wreath with 2 crossed swords. I do not know anything about the fund and award practice. It can be assumed that members of the union could qualify for this medal of honor. As a rule, proof had to be provided using a military ID or soldier's book, where the person fought. What requirements had to be met to obtain a combat mark also remains open. I will be very grateful for information about the club or the rules of the award.
After World War II, many participants in the war needed commemorative or honorary signs. Veterans united in numerous clubs and warrior unions. They then instituted various honorifics for their members. On the state side, until 1934, the official memorial cross was not issued.
